Relationship, evolutionary fate and function of two maize co-orthologs of rice <it>GW2 </it>associated with kernel size and weight
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In rice, the <it>GW2 </it>gene, found on chromosome 2, controls grain width and weight. Two homologs of this gene, <it>ZmGW2-CHR4 </it>and <it>ZmGW2-CHR5</it>, have been found in maize. In this stu...
