Abstract excerpt
The maize (Zea mays) CRINKLY4 (cr4) gene encodes a receptor-like kinase that controls a variety of cell differentiation responses, particularly in the leaf epidermis and in the aleurone of the endosperm. In situ hybridization indicated that the cr4 transcript is present throughout the shoot apical meristem and young leaf primordia. A genetic mosaic analysis was conducted to test whether CR4 signal transduction...
