Molecular dissection and functional characterization of the liguleless1 gene for manipulation of leaf angle in maize

A Novel ZmLG1 Allele as a Genetic Resource for Breeding Compact Plant Architecture in Maize

Background: Leaf angle is a key determinant of plant architecture and yield under high-density planting. Loss of the ligule reduces leaf angle, offering a strategy for breeding compact maize. This study aims to identify the genetic basis of the liguleless mutant jd30 and develop a functional marker for breeding. Method...

The functions of TaLAD1-A1, Rht8, and Rht-D1b in regulating leaf angle in wheat

Genetic mapping and cloning identified Talad1-A1, a single recessive nuclear gene located on chromosome 2A, is responsible for the variation in leaf angle and Rht8 and Rht-D1b have been shown to contribute significantly to leaf angle regulation.

The 6 bp exon deletion in StMYBA1 affects the expression of genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in potato

Findings provide new insights into the regulatory role of StMYBA1 in potato anthocyanin biosynthesis and identify a potentially useful genetic target for potato quality improvement.

Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of tassel glume closure1 (tgc1) gene in maize (Zea mays L.)

Fine mapping of yll prioritizes aberrantly spliced Glyma.10G090700 (GmPAO7) as the strongest candidate in a soybean yellow-leaf lethal mutant

Chlorophyll-deficient mutants are useful for dissecting chloroplast biology in crops. Here, we characterized a recessive soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yellow-leaf lethal mutant, yll , that showed markedly reduced chlorophyll content, impaired photosystem II performance, and seedling lethality. Fine mapping...
