Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Natural variation for the timing of vegetative phase change in maize is controlled by several large effect loci, one corresponding to Glossy15 , a gene known for regulating juvenile tissue traits. Vegetative phase change is an intrinsic component of developmental programs in plants. Juvenile and adult vegetative tissues in grasses differ dramatically in their anatomical and biochemical composition...
