A Zea genus-specific micropeptide controls kernel dehydration in maizeKernel dehydration rate is a key determinant of moisture content that affects mechanized harvesting and kernel quality in maize. The microRPG1, a Zea genus-specific micropeptide that originated de novo from a non-coding sequence, controls kernel dehydration rate by precisely regulating the expression of genes in the ethylene signaling pathway in the kernels after filling.Kernel dehydration rate is a key determinant of moisture content that affects mechanized harvesting and kernel quality in maize.
