A Weak Allele of <i>FASCIATED EAR 2 (FEA2)</i> Increases Maize Kernel Row Number (KRN) and Yield in Elite Maize Hybrids

Meristems are central to plant growth and development, yet evidence of directly manipulating this control to improve crop yield is scarce. Kernel row number (KRN) is an important agronomic trait that can directly affect maize (<i>Zea mays L</i>.) yield. However, this trait is difficult t...
