Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Seed size is an important factor contributing to maize yield, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. The seed coat, which serves as one of the three components of the maize grain, determines seed size to a certain extent. The seed coat also shares the maternal genotype and is an ideal material for studying heterosis. RESULTS: In this study, the self-pollinated seeds of the maize hybrid Yudan888...
