Transcriptomic and metabolic changes during tassel branching development in maize

Abstract Background Tassel branch number shapes plant architecture, which is crucial for maize adaptation to high-density planting. Therefore, unrevealing the molecular mechanisms of tassel branching is essential for crop breeding. To gain better insights into this mechanism, we integrated metabolom...
