Multiplexed in situ hybridization reveals distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation during maize leaf development

This study uses multiplexed in situ hybridization to show distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation in maize leaves, suggesting both lineage- and position-based mechanisms in venation patterning.

THE WIP6 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR TOO MANY LATERALS SPECIFIES VEIN TYPE IN C4 AND C3 GRASS LEAVES

This study identifies the WIP6 transcription factor TML as specifying vein rank in maize and rice, with implications for C4 photosynthesis engineering in rice.
