Abstract excerpt
Tillering (branching) is a major determinant of crop yield that is controlled by complex interactions between hormonal, developmental, and environmental factors. Historically, research on shoot branching has focused on eudicots, mainly due to the ease of manipulating branching by shoot decapitation and grafting in these species. These studies demonstrated hormonal control of branching. Recent studies in monocots...
