Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ear is a crucial component of grain yield in maize. Studying the mechanisms underlying ear development is therefore essential for genetic improvement and molecular breeding programs. Among various yield-influencing factors, ear development plays a central role, as it is orchestrated by the inflorescence meristem. This meristematic structure directly regulates key yield-related traits, including...
