Analysis of the miR319 target Zmtcptf24 in the maize inflorescence
(2014-12)Maize inflorescences are essential for reproduction and also produce seeds that are consumed as food. To understand the genetics pathways that control normal inflorescence development, we study mutants with abnormal ... -
Characterization Of 'Fuzzy Tassel' Male Sterility Defects Implicates Novel MiRNA-Regulated Pathways In Maize Stamen Development
(East Carolina University, 2015)The maize 'fuzzy tassel' ('fzt') mutant is caused by a mutation in 'dicer-like1' and has broad developmental defects. 'dicer-like1' encodes a key enzyme for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and many miRNAs are reduced in 'fzt' ... -
Characterization of MiR319-Regulated TCPs in Maize Development
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Maize produces two inflorescences, the tassel and the ear, that are essential for reproduction. Both inflorescences arise from similar inflorescence primordia and are patterned largely by the same developmental regulators. ... -
Characterizing the Expression Pattern of miR167-Regulated ZmArf3 and ZmArf30 in Maize Inflorescences
(East Carolina University, 2014)Plant growth and development depends on the activity of meristems, pools of stem cells that generate leaves and other organs. Maize (corn) produces two inflorescences, the tassel and ear, which are patterned by a series ... -
The dicer-like1 Homolog fuzzy tassel Is Required for the Regulation of Meristem Determinacy in the Inflorescence and Vegetative Growth in Maize
(2014-12)Plant architecture is determined by meristems that initiate leaves during vegetative development and flowers during reproductive development. Maize (Zea mays) inflorescences are patterned by a series of branching events, ...
