The tempo of leaf initiation in maize

Plants regularly make new leaves from a stem cell niche.  Dr. Michael Busche investigates how plants regulate the rate of leaf initiation during development.  Using classical genetics approaches in maize, Michael discovered that at least two distinct pathways regulate the rate of leaf initiation.  Read all about it in Genetics!
