bearded-ear Encodes a MADS Box Transcription Factor Critical for Maize . . . Thus, the ABCDE model provides a framework for the molecular regulation of floral development in grasses, but more genes need to be identified and characterized to understand how unique floral morphologies are specified in the grasses (Thompson and Hake, 2009)
pc067751 2578. . 2590 - ResearchGate We cloned bde by positional cloning and found that it encodes zea agamous3 (zag3), a MADS box transcription factor in the conserved AGAMOUS-LIKE6 clade
power of classic maize mutants: Driving forward our fundamental . . . Since Mendel, maize has been a powerhouse of fundamental genetics research From testing the Mendelian laws of inheritance, to the first genetic and cytogenetic maps, to the use of whole-genome sequencing data for crop improvement, maize is at the forefront of genetics advances
Notes on GRBs: Thompson 2009 白矮星-中子星并合率及其可能的电磁和引力波爆发 We argue that the recent groundbreaking discovery by Badenes et al (2009) of a nearby (~50 pc) white dwarf-neutron star (or black hole) binary (SDSS 1257+5428) with a merger timescale ~500 Myr implies that such systems are common; we estimate that there are of order 10^6 in the Galaxy
