Abstract excerpt
Effective mutagenesis is critical for connecting traits of interest to specific plant genes. The development of site-directed mutagenesis and sequenced-indexed genetics resources in maize allows for targeted analysis of individual genes. These reverse genetics approaches have the potential for confirmation bias by only studying candidate genes for association with traits of interest. Genetic screens of induced,...
