Quantitative variation in maize kernel row number is controlled by the FASCIATED EAR2 locus.

Nature genetics - 1 Mar 2013

Bommert Peter, Nagasawa Namiko Satoh, Jackson David

Abstract excerpt

Domestication of cereal crops, such as maize, wheat and rice, had a profound influence on agriculture and the establishment of human civilizations. One major improvement was an increase in seed number per inflorescence, which enhanced yield and simplified harvesting and storage. The ancestor of maize, teosinte, makes 2 rows of kernels, and modern varieties make ∼8-20 rows. Kernel rows are initiated by the...
