Abstract excerpt
Plant seed germination is a crucial developmental event that has significant effects on seedling establishment and yield production. This process is controlled by multiple intrinsic signals, particularly phytohormones. The gaseous hormone ethylene stimulates seed germination; however, the genetic basis of ethylene production in maize during seed germination remains poorly understood. In this study, we quantified...
