Genetic analysis of mutations that alter cell fates in maize leaves: dominant Liguleless mutations.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1996

Fowler J E, Freeling M

Abstract excerpt

The three major components of the maize leaf are the blade, the sheath, and at their junction, ligular region. Each exhibits specific cell types and organization. Four dominant Liguleless (Lg) mutations (Lg3-O, Lg4-O, Lg*347, and Lg*9167) in at least three different genes cause a similar morpholo...
