This paper develops a BSA-Seq framework to map mutations in genetically heterogeneous populations, successfully identifying known and novel candidate regions in maize mutants.

This study identifies two new recessive alleles of the maize OPAQUE1 gene, revealing its role in plant growth and architecture through internode elongation and inflorescence development.

The paper develops a cost-effective seed-chipping protocol using clipping pliers for maize genotyping, showing comparable DNA quality to leaf-based methods and no genotyping miscalls.

This paper reviews BR gene functions across plant species to identify conserved and diversified roles, using phylogenetic analysis and transcriptomic data to guide future research.
