GENES REGULATING THE RESPONSE OF -i(ZEA MAYS) TO WATER DEFICIT

The present invention involves the identification and characterization of genes involved in the response of maize plants to water stress. A mutant allele of the wilt gene was identified by transposon tagging and demonstrated to correlate with a mutants phenotype of wilting under normal water conditi...
