Maize is one of the most important cereal crops, and its kernels have a wide range of uses.Therefore, it will be of great significant to explore the genes associated with maize kernel development.Kernel mutants are important resources for gene cloning and characterization, and some mutant genes can be directly used in maize production. Until now, researchers have cloned many maize genes with kernel mutants.Our laboratory had constructed a maize kernel mutant pool, using maize inbred line B73 and Mutator (Mu...
