Generation of delayed silk senescence in maize as a trait to enhance hybrid seed production (Maize silk senescence)
The main objective of the proposed study is to generate a delayed senescence trait useful for developing modified maize inbred lines with extended functional silk life span. The construct generating this trait will be a valuable asset to license to plant breeding companies
