Relationship, evolutionary fate and function of two maize co-orthologs of rice GW2 associated with kernel size and weight
BACKGROUND: In rice, the GW2 gene, found on chromosome 2, controls grain width and weight. Two homologs of this gene, ZmGW2-CHR4 and ZmGW2-CHR5, have been found in maize. In this study, we investigated the relationship, evolutionary fate and putative function of these two maize genes. RESULTS: The t...
