Regulatory variation controlling architectural pleiotropy in maize by Edoardo Bertolini, Brian R. Rice, Max Braud, Jiani Yang, Sarah Hake, Josh Strable, Alexander E. Lipka, Andrea L. Eveland

“…Abstract An early event in plant organogenesis is establishment of a boundary between the stem cell containing meristem and differentiating lateral organ. In maize (Zea mays), evidence suggests a common gene network functions at boundaries of distinct organs and contributes to pleiotropy between leaf angle and tassel branch number, two agronomic traits. …”
