Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Plant Breeding as the Foundation for 21st Century Crop Improvement

TL;DR: The fundamental discoveries of Darwin and Mendel established the scientific basis for plant breeding and genetics at the turn of the 20th century and the recent integration of advances in biotechnology, genomic research, and molecular marker applications with conventional plant breeding is being integrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

microRNA172 down-regulates glossy15 to promote vegetative phase change in maize.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that increasing gl15 activity in transgenic maize not only increases the number of leaves expressing juvenile traits, but also delays the onset of reproductive development, indicating that gl15 plays a primary role in the maintenance of the juvenile phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

A maize zinc-finger protein binds the prolamin box in zein gene promoters and interacts with the basic leucine zipper transcriptional activator Opaque2

TL;DR: Cloned an endosperm-specific maize cDNA that encodes a member of the recently described Dof class of plant Cys2-Cys2 zinc-finger DNA binding proteins, which provides an essential tool to further investigate the functional role of the highly conserved P-box in regulating cereal storage protein gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glossy15, an APETALA2-like gene from maize that regulates leaf epidermal cell identity

TL;DR: Molecular cloning of the Gl15 gene is reported using a defective Suppressor-Mutator (dSpm) element insertion as a transposon-tag and provides molecular support for the hypothesis that leaves and floral organs are related structures derived from a common growth plan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cold tolerance of C4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus x giganteus: adaptation in amounts and sequence of C4 photosynthetic enzymes.

TL;DR: The maintenance of PPDK and Rubisco large subunit amounts in M. × giganteus is consistent with the hypothesis that these proteins are critical to maintaining high rates of C4 photosynthesis at low temperature.
