The physical structure of corn plants—including the angle of leaves bending from the stem and the number of pollen-laden ...

A research team led by Andrea Eveland, PhD, associate member at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, has uncovered key ...

A genetic link between Northern Flints and 1,000-year-old Ozark maize By reconstructing the genomes of archaeological maize cobs and kernels, the study reveals that 1,000-year-old maize from ...

A new study has identified a genetic circuit in plants that controls individual leaf growth and allows the plants to adapt to ...

Quiet brilliance. Like Gregor Mendel before her, Barbara McClintock quietly dedicated most of her scientific life to the study of one plant, and her discoveries revealed important genetic secrets.

Dates and locations of proto-languages for which maize terms reconstruct generally accord with crop-origin and dispersal information from plant genetics and archaeobotany. Paleobiolinguistic and other ...

Ds Genetic location on the short arm of chromosome ... transposition at different stages of seed development, the genes of maize kernels are capable of producing a variety of coloration patterns.

No one believed Barbara McClintock in 1951 when she first described DNA that "jumped" from site to site within maize chromosomes, altering the expression of genes near the sites of integration. In due ...

Indeed, different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in many prominent crops like rice, maize, and barley. Until now, it has only been possible to study historical chromosome ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have identified a genetic circuit that regulates leaf growth in maize, influenced ...

A new study has identified a genetic circuit in plants that controls individual leaf growth and allows the plants to adapt to their environment. The ...
