Biologists uncovers a genetic mechanism that could enhance yield in cereal crops
Solving the world’s food, feed and bioenergy challenges requires integration of multiple approaches and diverse skills. Scientists have identified a genetic mechanism that controls developmental traits related to grain production in cereals. The work was performed in Setaria viridis, an emerging model system for grasses that is closely related to economically important cereal crops and bioenergy feed stocks such as maize, sorghum, switchgrass and sugarcane. …read more
