Abstract excerpt
Recessive mutations of the early phase change (epc) gene in maize affect several aspects of plant development. These mutations were identified initially because of their striking effect on vegetative phase change. In certain genetic backgrounds, epc mutations reduce the duration of the juvenile vegetative phase of development and cause early flowering, but they have little or no effect on the number of adult...
