Abstract excerpt

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 two genes are located on duplicated maize chromosomal regions that show co-orthologous relationships with the rice...
