Weak allele versus null allele: which one to select?

Abstract excerpt

Maize and rice were domesticated from their wild progenitors independently. Whether their convergent phenotypic selection was driven by conserved molecular changes remains unclear. We discuss the implications of a recent genome-wide study of convergently selected maize and rice genes showing that maize KERNEL ROW NUMBER2 (KRN2) and its rice ortholog experienced convergent selection.
