Abstract excerpt

Kernel development is a pivotal determinant of grain yield in maize (Zea mays), a cereal crop that is fundamentally important for global food security. Here, we elucidated the essential role of VIM family genes in maize endosperm development by characterizing a miniature seed9 (mn9) mutant, in which the kernel size is reduced. Through map-based cloning, we demonstrated that the mn9 phenotype is caused by the...
