Abstract excerpt
The availability of the B73 inbred reference genome sets the stage for high-throughput functional characterization of maize genes on a whole-genome scale. Among the 39 324 protein-coding genes predicted, the vast majority are untapped due to the lack of suitable high-throughput reverse genetic resources. We have generated a gene-indexed maize mutant collection through ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis and...
