Disentangling shape and size variation to compare canopy architecture in maize
{middle dot} Comparing maize canopies is confounded by two problems: plants differ in the number of phytomers they produce, and phytomer size scales with that number. Position along the shoot is therefore an unreliable basis for comparison, confounding shape with size. {middle dot} We first position the floral transition (tassel initiation, T.I.) within shoot development, revealing it as the…
