BARREN INFLORESCENCE2 interaction with ZmPIN1a suggests a role in auxin transport during maize inflorescence developmentAndrea Skirpan
Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, 208 Mueller Lab, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Plant Cell Physiol 50:652-7. 2009..In addition, bif2 mutant inflorescences have lower auxin levels later in development. We propose that BIF2 regulates auxin transport through direct regulation of ZmPIN1a during maize inflorescence development...
Suppressor of sessile spikelets1 functions in the ramosa pathway controlling meristem determinacy in maizeXianting Wu
Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA
Plant Physiol 149:205-19. 2009..Based on these genetic and expression studies, we propose that sos1 functions in the ra1 branch of the ramosa pathway controlling meristem determinacy...
vanishing tassel2 encodes a grass-specific tryptophan aminotransferase required for vegetative and reproductive development in maizeKimberly A Phillips
Department of Biology, Pensylvania State University, 208 Mueller Lab, University Park, Pensylvania 16802, USA
Plant Cell 23:550-66. 2011..Therefore, both spi1 and vt2 function in auxin biosynthesis in maize, possibly in the same pathway rather than independently as previously proposed...
Hormonal control of grass inflorescence developmentSolmaz Barazesh
Department of Biology, Penn State University, 208 Mueller Lab, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Trends Plant Sci 13:656-62. 2008..Here, we review recent progress in the understanding of the genetic regulation of grass inflorescence development, with a focus on maize and rice. An exciting theme is the key role of plant growth hormones in inflorescence development...
Genetic and physical interaction suggest that BARREN STALK 1 is a target of BARREN INFLORESCENCE2 in maize inflorescence developmentAndrea Skirpan
Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Plant J 55:787-97. 2008..Double mutant analysis is consistent with these results, showing that bif2 and ba1 have overlapping as well as unique roles in inflorescence development...
sparse inflorescence1, barren inflorescence1 and barren stalk1 promote cell elongation in maize inflorescence developmentSolmaz Barazesh
Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA
Genetics 182:403-6. 2009..We report that spi1, bif1, and ba1, but not bif2, also function in promoting cell elongation in the inflorescence...
Barren inflorescence1 functions in organogenesis during vegetative and inflorescence development in maizeSolmaz Barazesh
Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Genetics 179:389-401. 2008..The phenotypic resemblance of Bif1 to bif2 mutants and the reduction of auxin transport in Bif1 mutants suggest that bif1 functions as a regulator of auxin transport in maize...
Developmental disaster1: A novel mutation causing defects during vegetative and inflorescence development in maize (Zea mays, Poaceae)Kimberly A Phillips
Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, 208 Mueller Laboratory, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802 USA
Am J Bot 96:420-30. 2009..The suite of defects seen in Dvd1 mutants, together with the genetic interaction of Dvd1 with barren inflorescence2, suggests that dvd1 is a novel regulator of axillary meristem and internode development...

Expression patterns and mutant phenotype of teosinte branched1 correlate with growth suppression in maize and teosinteLauren Hubbard
Plant Gene Expression Center, USDA ARS, Albany, California 94710, USA
Genetics 162:1927-35. 2002..Expression in teosinte inflorescence development suggests a role in pedicellate spikelet suppression. Our results provide support for a role for tb1 in growth suppression and reveal the specific tissues where suppression may occur...
