Altered expression of maize PLASTOCHRON1 enhances biomass and seed yield by extending cell division duration

Maize is the highest yielding cereal crop grown worldwide. Here Sunet al. show that maize growth can be further enhanced by prolonging the duration of leaf elongation by targeted ectopic expression of the PLASTOCHRON1gene and show that this leads to increased yield in field trials.
