Danforth Center scientists discover gene that influences grain yield
Field of Setaria viridis growing in western Nebraska. In the current issue of Nature Plants, Huang and colleagues use Setaria viridis to identify the inflorescence mutant, sparse panicle 1. A mutation in the maize ortholog conditions a very similar panicle defect, demonstrating the utility of S. viridis for gene discovery in the panicoids.Credit: Donald Danforth Plant Science Center
