A serine/threonine protein kinase encoding gene KERNEL NUMBER PER ROW6 regulates maize grain yield

Selection of kernel number per ear has improved maize yield, but the genetic base is unclear. Here, the authors reveal that a serine/threonine protein kinase KNR6 is a positive regulator of the trait and show in vitro evidences that KNR6 may function through phosphorylating an Arf GTPase-activating...
