...TO ZEA MAYS As one of six projects focusing on aspects of maize (Zea mays), researchers at the University of Missouri, Columbia, will lead a project to understand how DNA packaging in the nucleus can control whether genes are turned on or off, a step toward providing tools for manipulating gene expression in maize and other crop plants.
