Evidence for an evolutionarily conserved interaction between cell wall biosynthesis and flowering in maize and sorghum.

BMC evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2002

Vermerris Wilfred, Thompson Karen J, McIntyre Lauren M, Axtell John D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Factors that affect flowering vary among different plant species, and in the grasses in particular the exact mechanism behind this transition is not fully understood. The brown midrib (bm) mutants of maize (Zea mays L.), which have altered cell wall composition, have different flowering dynamics compared to their wild-type counterparts. This is indicative of a link between cell wall biogenesis and...
