The effect of a heterochronic mutation, Teopod2, on the cell lineage of the maize shoot.

Abstract excerpt

Teopod2 (Tp2) is a semi-dominant mutation of maize that prolongs the expression of characteristics normally confined to the juvenile phase of development. Two of the many dramatic morphological effects of this mutation are an increase in the number of vegetative nodes, and a reduction in the overall size of the shoot. To determine the cellular basis of these phenotypes, the technique of clonal analysis was used...
