To make maize transformation more accessible, the researchers adapted a technique recently developed by Corteva Agriscience scientists, in which the compact bundle of developing leaves, or leaf ...

We have analyzed the maize leaf transcriptome using Illumina sequencing. We mapped more than 120 million reads to define gene structure and alternative splicing events and to quantify transcript ...

During this time, changes in maize leaf angle and size have altered plant architecture, allowing more efficient light capture as planting density has increased. Through a genome-wide association ...
