Expression data from internodes of maize seedlings

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) were commonly used in practical farming to restrict plant height and control lodging. Ethephon has been reported to shorten the internodes elongation and increase the harvestable grain yield of maize. In the present study, we characterized that internodes phenotypic responses to ethephon treatment induced should due to ethylene released inhibited the longitudinal growth of cells and promoted its the lateral growth.
