Multiplexed in situ hybridization reveals distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation during maize leaf development

This study uses multiplexed in situ hybridization to show distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation in maize leaves, suggesting both lineage- and position-based mechanisms in venation patterning.

THE WIP6 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR TOO MANY LATERALS SPECIFIES VEIN TYPE IN C4 AND C3 GRASS LEAVES

This study identifies the WIP6 transcription factor TML as specifying vein rank in maize and rice, with implications for C4 photosynthesis engineering in rice.

Mutations in NAKED-ENDOSPERM IDD genes reveal functional interactions with SCARECROW and a maternal influence on leaf patterning in C4 grasses

The paper shows that mutations in NKD IDD genes worsen leaf patterning defects in C4 grasses but not C3 grasses, and identifies a maternal influence on leaf cell patterning during embryogenesis.
