Abstract excerpt
Genetic mosaic maize plants that contained dwarf1 sectors in otherwise normal plants were analyzed. The analysis of dwarf1 sector growth relative to the surrounding wild-type tissue should test the hypothesis that Dwarf1 controls the production of a diffusible factor. Maize dwarf1 sectors did not show altered growth relative to the surrounding tissue, indicating that Dwarf1 controls the production of a diffusible...
