ZmTB1be1 Modulates Ear Branching via Releasing the Repression to ZmWOX3a in Maize

The natural mutation of ZmTB1WT to ZmTB1be1 was documented as the fundamental cause of ear branching in maize, while the molecular mechanism remains undiscovered. In the present study, we characterized both ZmTB1WT and ZmTB1be1, and found that the structure of conserved domains,...
