Genome-wide analysis of the pentatricopeptide repeat gene family in different maize genomes and its important role in kernel development

Abstract Background The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) gene family is one of the largest gene families in land plants (450 PPR genes in Arabidopsis, 477 PPR genes in rice and 486 PPR genes in foxtail millet) and is important for plant development and growth. Most PPR genes are encoded by plastid and...
