This study identifies regulators of transverse vein development in maize through transcriptomic and anatomical analyses, revealing EREB41 and EREB114 as essential genes.

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

The paper shows pollen fitness alleles in maize affect spatial inheritance patterns across ears, with non-Mendelian transmission trends observed in specific mutants.

The paper shows that GT1 and RA3 regulate different traits through distinct mechanisms, revealing how genetic networks evolve to increase pleiotropy in grasses.
