Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation The m30 maize mutant had fewer internodes.
Observation The m30 maize mutant had shorter internodes.
Observation The m30 maize mutant had wider internodes.

Observation ZmCYP90D1 was constitutively expressed, most strongly in basal internodes.
Observation ZmCYP90D1 protein localized to the nucleus.
Mechanism A G-to-A substitution was identified as the causal m30 mutation and produced a truncated protein.
Intervention effect Loss of ZmCYP90D1 function altered hormone-responsive gene expression, especially brassinosteroid-responsive genes.
Observation Typhasterol concentration was reduced in the ZmCYP90D1 loss-of-function context.
Observation A maize haplotype conferred dwarfing without lowering yield.

Other claims from this paper (9)

Intervention effect Sixty percent field capacity decreased morphological and physiological traits.
Observation Drought-tolerant clones were less affected by stress than other clones.
Observation Drought-tolerant clones produced more flowers than other clones.
Observation Clone 12 was the most drought tolerant Impatiens clone.
Mechanism Drought tolerance involved stomatal closure as growing medium humidity decreased.
Observation Stomatal closure did not significantly reduce fresh and dry weight in tolerant plants.
Observation Stomatal closure delayed flower initiation.
Observation Flower numbers did not significantly decrease in tolerant plants.
Recommendation Drought-tolerant clones can supply genotypes for release as landscape varieties.
