New stem cell pathway indicates route to much higher yields in maize, staple crops
Science Daily David Jackson and colleagues have discovered that gently releasing a brake on stem cell proliferation in maize (and other plants) leads to slightly more stem cells and increases in yield up to 50%. The two maize varieties on the left combine to produce … New Plant Stem Cell Discovery Points to Increased Yields Stem cell discovery may increase crop yields by 50 percent |
