The regulatory landscape of a core maize domestication module controlling bud dormancy and growth repression
The TB1 transcription factor was selected for the increased apical dominance of maize compared to its ancestor teosinte. A metabolic and genomic analysis of domesticated axillary buds suggest that TB1 achieved this by regulating phytohormone signaling, sugar metabolism and other domestication genes.
