    Abstract: A maize plant or maize plant part, and methods of making and using the same, are provided herein, wherein the maize plant or maize plant part comprises a mutant allele of an endogenous brachytic 2 (Z?r2) gene, a mutant allele of an endogenous GA20 oxidase or GA3 oxidase gene, or a transgene encoding a non-coding RNA molecule that targets an endogenous GA oxidase gene for suppression, and/or a mutant allele of an endogenous brown midrib 3 (bin3) gene. The maize plants or maize plant parts may be homozygous or heterozygous for the transgene or the mutant alleles. Additionally, the maize plant or maize plant part may be part of a silage product, where the harvest product is formed by harvesting an above-ground biomass of a population of the maize plants or a population of intercropped silage plants including such maize plants and making a silage product from the above-ground biomass.
