Plant J . 2022 Jul; 111(6):1701-1716. PMID: 35876146
The maize red1 (r1) locus regulates anthocyanin accumulation and is a classic model for allelic diversity; changes in regulatory regions are responsible for most of the variation in gene expression...

Plant Genome . 2021 Jul; 14(3):e20126. PMID: 34323399
The naked endosperm1 (nkd1), naked endosperm2 (nkd2), and thick aleurone1 (thk1) genes are important regulators of maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm development. Double mutants of nkd1 and nkd2 (nkd1,2) show...

Wu H, Gontarek B, Yi G, Beall B, Neelakandan A, Adhikari B, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2020 Aug; 184(2):960-972. PMID: 32737073
Maize () () mutants form multiple aleurone layers in the endosperm and have arrested embryogenesis. Prior studies suggest that functions downstream of () in a regulatory pathway that controls aleurone...

Development . 2019 Jun; 146(14). PMID: 31235633
The highly efficient C photosynthetic pathway is facilitated by 'Kranz' leaf anatomy. In Kranz leaves, closely spaced veins are encircled by concentric layers of photosynthetic bundle sheath (inner) and mesophyll...

Gabay-Laughnan S, Settles A, Hannah L, Porch T, Becraft P, McCarty D, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2017 Nov; 8(1):291-302. PMID: 29167273
Mitochondria execute key pathways of central metabolism and serve as cellular sensing and signaling entities, functions that depend upon interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genetic systems. This is exemplified in...

Genetics . 2017 Nov; 208(1):297-305. PMID: 29122827
Meiotic drive describes a process whereby selfish genetic elements are transmitted at levels greater than Mendelian expectations. Maize abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) encodes a meiotic drive system that exhibits strong...

Plant Cell . 2016 Nov; 28(12):2916-2936. PMID: 27895224
NAKED ENDOSPERM1 (NKD1) and NKD2 are duplicate INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) transcription factors important for maize (Zea mays) endosperm development. RNA-seq analysis of the nkd1 nkd2 mutant endosperm revealed that NKD1...
