Abstract

Significance: Crop yields are dependent on the number of lateral primordia made by the inflorescence. In maize unbranched mutants, excess lateral primordia are made at the expense of the stem cells located in the center of the meristem. Ultimately, the unbranched mutant meristem lacks enough cells to regenerate and thus, terminates prematurely. This study shows that the duplicate transcription factors unbranched2 and unbranched3 function together to decrease the rate of lateral primordia initiation, thus giving the stem cells of the meristem enough time to regenerate. Variants of the unbranched3 gene affect different aspects of lateral primordia initiation that control crop yield.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
