MADS-box encoding gene Tunicate1 positively controls maize yield by increasing leaf number above the ear
Abstract The leaves above the ear serve as a major source of carbohydrates for grain filling in maize. However, increasing the number of leaves above the ear to strengthen the source and improve maize yield remains challenging in modern maize breeding. Here, we clone the causative gene of the quanti...
