Knotted1-like homeobox (KNOX) proteins are homeodomain transcription factors that
maintain an important pluripotent cell population called the shoot apical meristem, which …

Maize is a major staple crop widely used as food, animal feed, and raw materials in
industrial production. High‐density planting is a major factor contributing to the continuous …

Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs),
which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA …

ABSTRACT Knotted1-like homeobox (knox) genes are expressed in specific patterns within
shoot meristems and play an important role in meristem maintenance. Misexpression of the …

The apical portion of the Arabidopsis globular stage embryo gives rise to the cotyledons and
the shoot apical meristem (SAM). The SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) gene is required for …

Leaf architecture directly influences canopy structure, consequentially affecting yield. We
discovered a maize (Zea mays) mutant with aberrant leaf architecture, which we named …

The regulation of members of the knotted1-like homeobox (knox) gene family is required for
the normal initiation and development of lateral organs. The maize rough sheath2 (rs2) …

Leaves of higher plants develop in a sequential manner from the shoot apical meristem.
Previously it was determined that perturbed leaf development in maize rough sheath2 (rs2) …

Angiosperm embryo sac development begins with a phase of free nuclear division followed
by cellularization and differentiation of cell types. The indeterminate gametophyte1 (ig1) …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …
