Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of the silkless1 (sk1) gene in developing silkless baby corn, a distinctive trait in maize has been investigated. So far, no sk1 gene-specific marker has been available for accelerated development of silkless baby corn hybrids. METHODS & RESULTS: We developed sk1 gene-based markers and validated them in backcross (BC) and F2 segregating generations, revealing a polymorphic marker...
