Abstract The ligular region is a critical determinant of leaf angle (LA) and plant architecture in maize, yet its developmental mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we generate a comprehensive single-nucleus RNA-seq atlas of the maize ligular region, spanning from leaf primordium through the preligule band (PLB) to the mature stage.

Abstract Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial factor that affects planting density and yield in maize. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying LA formation remain largely unknown. In this study, we performed a comparative histological analysis of the ligular region across various maize inbred lines and revealed that LA is significantly influenced by a two-step regulatory process involving initial cell elongation followed by subsequent lignification in the ligular adaxial sclerenchyma cells (SCs).
