Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays) is a monoecious plant, in which inflorescence morphogenesis involves complicated molecular regulatory mechanisms. Although many related genes have been cloned, our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying maize inflorescence development remains limited. Here, we identified a maize semi-dominant mutant Silky3 (Si3), which displays pleiotropic defects during inflorescence development,...
