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...

The final morphology of a plant is determined by much earlier events that occur during development. Meristems are critical for the development of the aerial parts of plants, such as leaves and stems. The morphology of these meristems, which can vary significantly across genetic backgrounds, correlates with phenotypic t...
