Brassinosteroid control of sex determination in maize
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones that regulate growth and development. They share
structural similarities with animal steroids, which are decisive factors of sex determination. …

Identification of a maize locus that modulates the hypersensitive defense response, using mutant-assisted gene identification and characterization
S Chintamanani, SH Hulbert, GS Johal… - Genetics, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Potentially useful naturally occurring genetic variation is often difficult to identify as the
effects of individual genes are subtle and difficult to observe. In this study, a novel genetic …

[HTML][HTML] Disease lesion mimic mutants of maize
GS Johal - 2007 - apsnet.org
Disease lesion mimics are a class of mutants in plants that spontaneously form lesions (patches
of dead cells) in the absence of any obvious injury, stress or infection to the plant. Initially…
