Abstract excerpt
Kernel size is an important trait determining cereal yields. In this study, we cloned and characterized TaDA1, a conserved negative regulator of kernel size in wheat (Triticum aestivum). The overexpression of TaDA1 decreased the size and weight of wheat kernels, while its down-regulation using RNA interference (RNAi) had the opposite effect. Three TaDA1-A haplotypes were identified in Chinese wheat core...
