Role of heterotrimeric Gα proteins in maize development and enhancement of agronomic traits.

PLoS genetics - 1 Apr 2018

Wu Qingyu, Regan Michael, Furukawa Hiro, Jackson David

Abstract excerpt

Plant shoot systems derive from the shoot apical meristems (SAMs), pools of stems cells that are regulated by a feedback between the WUSCHEL (WUS) homeobox protein and CLAVATA (CLV) peptides and receptors. The maize heterotrimeric G protein α subunit COMPACT PLANT2 (CT2) functions with CLV receptors to regulate meristem development. In addition to the sole canonical Gα CT2, maize also contains three eXtra Large...
