Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to the application of a non-coding gene and its precursor sequence for controlling coarse heterosis of maize ears. Background technique
[0002] As one of the most important food, feed and energy crops in the world, corn plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring world food security, promoting economic development and alleviating energy crisis. Maize is a monoecious plant with different flowers. The ear development needs to go through axillary bud meristem (AM), inflorescence meristem (IM), spikelet paired meristem (SPM), spikelet meristem (SM), A series of differentiation processes such as floret meristem (FM). The number of corn ear rows (ear diameter) is mainly determined by the size of the IM. The increase of IM can provide enough space for new SPM differentiation, resulting in an increase in the number of SPMs and finally the number of ear rows. The number of grains ...
