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' ... -
