Zea mays (maize) is a critical global crop, generating more than 1 billion metric tons of grain annually. Plant morphology is tightly associated with final yield and is determined by the process of development. Accurate assessment and recording of mature plant morphology is essential for linking genotype to phenotype a...

In plants, final organ shape and position influence function and whole plant productivity. In Zea mays (maize), leaf, ear, and tassel morphology are all key agronomic features influencing yield. These aerial structures originate from stem cell populations within meristems. Understanding how meristems are regulated and...
