Abstract excerpt

In maize, several yield-related traits are associated with meristem activity, regulated by CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-related (CLE) peptide signals perceived by CLAVATA(CLV) receptors in the CLAVATA-WUSCHEL (CLV-WUS) pathway. However, additional signaling pathways in maize meristem development remain poorly understood. Here, we identify three receptor-like kinases, ZmERECTA1 (ZmER1), ZmER2 and ZmER1-like...
