Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The main stem is a crucial component determining individual plant yield in rapeseed (Brassica napus). However, the genetic and developmental basis underlying the multi-main-stem trait remains largely unclear. RESULTS: In this study, we identified a multi-main-stem mutant, mms1, which exhibited a significantly increased silique number per plant and abnormal shoot apical meristem (SAM) development....
