Abstract excerpt
Temperature is a major factor regulating plant growth. To reproduce at extreme temperatures, plants must develop normal reproductive organs when exposed to temperature changes. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we identified the maize (Zea mays) mutant thermosensitive vanishing tassel1-R (tvt1-R), which lacks tassels at high (restrictive) temperatures due to shoot apical...
