Profiling trancriptome changes that affect vein specification in maize (Zea mays) tml (TOO MANY LATERALS) mutants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The biochemistry of C4 photosynthesis relies on a specific suite of leaf functional properties, often referred to as Kranz anatomy, where there is increased vein density and the proportion of bundle sheath cells surrounding the veins compared to C3 photosynthesizing species. From a suite of putative Kranz anatomy regulators, TML was identified. Loss of function tml mutations lead to the development of large lateral veins in positions normally occupied by smaller intermediate veins in both C3 and C4 species tested. In order to elucidate the role of TML in vein patterning, we set out to profile transcriptional changes that happen in the leaf primordia upon tml knock-out in the C4 species Zea mays.
