Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence
Field, Sterling; Thompson, Beth (2016-01-08)Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male ... -
Analysis of the miR319 target Zmtcptf24 in the maize inflorescence
Kerschner, Kelly (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 ... -
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
Yang, Hailong (East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ... -
The Generation of an Antibody to the Bearded-Ear Protein in Maize
Bland, Jessica (East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Flowers are essential for plants to reproduce and also produce seeds and fruits that are consumed as food. Zea mays (maize) is both a staple crop and serves as a model for other grass species. In maize, male and female ...
