Abstract excerpt

Maize (Zea mays) endosperm is the primary reservoir of nutrients that serve as energy and carbon sources for seed germination and early seedling growth. The characterization of endosperm mutants has provided insights into the mechanism underlying endosperm development and resources for maize breeding. In this study, we identified shriveled kernel1 (zmsk1) as a new maize mutant with shriveled kernels containing an...
