The kernel serves as a storage organ for various nutrients and determines the yield and quality of maize. Understanding the mechanisms regulating kernel development is important for maize production.
Maize kernels are the largest cereal grains, and their endosperm is severely oxygen deficient throughout grain fill. The causes of this hypoxia are unknown and so too are how low-oxygen signals are in
To further understand the basis of the phenotypic defects in the zmknl1 mutant, we performed RNA-Seq from zmknl1 and WT kernels at 14 DAP with each two independent biological replicates. Totally 555 s
