Characterization and map-based cloning of miniature2-m1, a gene controlling kernel size in maize
Kernel development plays an important role in determining kernel size in maize.Here we present the cloning and characterization of a maize gene, nitrate transporter1.5 (NRT1.5), which controls small kernel phenotype by playing an important role in kernel development.A novel recessive small kernel mutant miniature2-m1 (mn2-m1) was isolated from self
