    Abstract Plant architecture is an important feature for agronomic performance in crops. In maize, which is a monoecious plant, separation of floral organs to produce specific gametes has been studied from different perspectives including genetic, biochemical and physiological. Maize mutants affected in floral organ development have been key to identifying genes, hormones and other factors like miRNAs important for sex determination. In this review, we describe floral organ formation in maize, representative mutants and genes identified with a function in establishing sexual identity either classified as feminizing or masculinizing, and its relationship with hormones associated with sexual organ identity as jasmonic acid, brassinosteroid and gibberellin. Finally, we discuss the challenges and scopes of future research in maize sex determination.

    Abstract Narrow odd dwarf (nod) and Liguleless narrow (Lgn) are pleiotropic maize mutants that both encode plasma membrane proteins, cause similar developmental patterning defects, and constitutively induce stress signaling pathways. To investigate how these mutants coordinate maize development and physiology, we screened for protein interactors of NOD by affinity purification. LGN was identified by this screen as a strong candidate interactor, and we confirmed the NOD‐LGN molecular interaction through orthogonal experiments. We further demonstrated that LGN, a receptor‐like kinase, can phosphorylate NOD in vitro, hinting that they could act in intersecting signal transduction pathways. To test this hypothesis, we generated Lgn‐R;nod mutants in two backgrounds (B73 and A619), and found that these mutations enhance each other, causing more severe developmental defects than either single mutation on its own, with phenotypes including very narrow leaves, increased tillering, and failure of the main shoot. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the single and double mutants in the two genetic backgrounds revealed widespread induction of pathogen defense genes and a shift in resource allocation away from primary metabolism in favor of specialized metabolism. These effects were similar in each single mutant and heightened in the double mutant, leading us to conclude that NOD and LGN act cumulatively in overlapping signaling pathways to coordinate growth‐defense tradeoffs in maize.

    Abstract A major challenge in plant biology is to understand how the plant hormone auxin regulates diverse transcriptional responses throughout development, in different environments, and in different species. The answer may lie in the specific complement of auxin signaling components in each cell. The balance between activators (class-A AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS) and repressors (class-B ARFs) is particularly important. It is unclear how this balance is achieved. Through comparative analysis of novel, dominant mutants in maize and the moss

    Abstract MutS HOMOLOG 1 (MSH1) is an organellar-targeted protein that obstructs ectopic recombination and the accumulation of mutations in plant organellar genomes. MSH1 also modulates the epigenetic status of nuclear DNA, and its absence induces a variety of phenotypic responses. MSH1 is a member of the MutS family of DNA mismatch repair proteins but harbors an additional GIY-YIG nuclease domain that distinguishes it from the rest of this family. How MSH1 hampers recombination and promotes fidelity in organellar DNA inheritance is unknown. Here, we elucidate its enzymatic activities by recombinantly expressing and purifying full-length MSH1 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtMSH1). AtMSH1 is a metalloenzyme that shows a strong binding affinity for displacement loops (D-loops). The DNA-binding abilities of AtMSH1 reside in its MutS domain and not in its GIY-YIG domain, which is the ancillary nickase of AtMSH1. In the presence of divalent metal ions, AtMSH1 selectively executes multiple incisions at D-loops, but not other DNA structures including Holliday junctions or dsDNA, regardless of the presence or absence of mismatches. The selectivity of AtMSH1 to dismantle D-loops supports the role of this enzyme in preventing recombination between short repeats. Our results suggest that plant organelles have evolved novel DNA repair routes centered around the anti-recombinogenic activity of MSH1.

    Abstract People living in the Balsas River basin in southwest México domesticated maize from the bushy grass teosinte. Nine thousand years later, in 2021, Ms. Deb Haaland - a member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe of New Mexico - wore a dress adorned with a cornstalk when she was sworn in as the Secretary of Interior of the United States of America. This choice of garment highlights the importance of the coevolution of maize and the farmers who, through careful selection over thousands of years, domesticated maize and adapted the physiology and shoot architecture of maize to fit local environments and growth habits. Some traits such as tillering were directly selected on (arches), and others such as tassel size are the by-products (spandrels) of maize evolution. Here, we review current knowledge of the underlying cellular, developmental, physiological, and metabolic processes that were selected by farmers and breeders, which have positioned maize as a top global staple crop.

    Abstract Interactions between MADS box transcription factors are critical in the regulation of floral development, and shifting MADS box protein-protein interactions are predicted to have influenced floral evolution. However, precisely how evolutionary variation in protein-protein interactions affects MADS box protein function remains unknown. To assess the impact of changing MADS box protein-protein interactions on transcription factor function, we turned to the grasses, where interactions between B-class MADS box proteins vary. We tested the functional consequences of this evolutionary variability using maize (
