Abstract excerpt
The maize ligule is an adaxial membranous structure on the leaf that develops at the boundary of the sheath and blade. The ligule and the associated auricle are dispensable structures, amenable to genetic manipulation. We present here a genetic analysis of liguleless1 (lg1) and liguleless2 (lg2), the two genes known to be uniquely necessary for ligule and auricle development. We show that both reference mutant...
