Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The tassel glume closure1 (tgc1) mutant was identified and mapped, and ZmKAO1, which encodes an ent-kaurenoic acid oxidase, is the key candidate gene. Tassel glume timely opening is a key trait that influences cross-pollination and hybrid breeding. However, in maize (Zea mays L.), the related genes regulating this process remain largely unexplored. Here, we identified tassel glume closure1 (tgc1), a...
