The evolution of apical dominance in maize.

Nature - 3 Apr 1997

Doebley J, Stec A, Hubbard L

Abstract excerpt

The domestication of crop plants has often involved an increase in apical dominance (the concentration of resources in the main stem of the plant and a corresponding suppression of axillary branches). A striking example of this phenomenon is seen in maize (Zea mays spp. mays), which exhibits a profound increase in apical dominance compared with its probable wild ancestor, teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis)....
