摘要

#$%^&*AU2017206249B220180906.pdf#####ABSTRACT This disclosure concerns specific naturally-occurring mutant maize CAD2 genes, which altered genes contribute to the bm] maize phenotype in particular 5 maize lines. In some embodiments, compositions and methods are provided that utilize a nucleic acid molecule comprising a mutant CAD2 gene, and/or markers linked to a mutant CAD2 gene.
