Abstract excerpt
Rough sheath1 (Rs1) is a dominant mutation that alters cell fate and causes unregulated cell division and expansion in the maize leaf. A knox (Kn1 like-homeo box gene) sequence closely linked to the Rs1-O mutation was cloned and shown by transposon mutagenesis to encode the rs1 gene. The deduced...
