Genomic deletions are pervasive in the maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) genome, and play important roles in phenotypic variation and adaptive evolution. However, little is known about the biological functions of these genomic deletions. Here, we report the biological function of a megabase-scale deletion, which we identified by position-based cloning of the <i>multi-trait weakened</i> (<i>muw</i>) mutant, which is inherited as a single recessive locus. <i>MUW</i> was mapped to a 5.16-Mb region on chro ...[more]
