NARROW SHEATH1 functions from two meristematic foci during founder-cell recruitment in maize leaf development.
Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 2000

Abstract excerpt
The narrow sheath duplicate genes (ns1 and ns2) perform redundant functions during maize leaf development. Plants homozygous for mutations in both ns genes fail to develop wild-type leaf tissue in a lateral domain that includes the leaf margin. Previous studies indicated that the NS gene product(s) functions during recruitment of leaf founder-cells in a lateral, meristematic domain that contributes to leaf margin...
