摘要:
The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the protein ZMNAM isolated from maize endosperm. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZMNAM gene. ZMNAM is a novel gene and is regulated by gene-specific imprinting. ZMNAM expression is endosperm-specific and expressed throughout the endosperm development, peaking at 25 DAP. Genomic imprinting has been implicated to play a role in endosperm development. Genes regulated by allele-specific imprinting are suspected to be non-essential to seed development. Gene-specific imprinting however, regulates developmentally important genes. The ZMNAM gene, a putative transcriptional factor, may play an important role in endosperm development, which may further affect kernel size, plant vigor during germination and at the early seedling stage.

The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the ZmARGOS gene family. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZmARGOS genes. ZmARGOS is responsible for controlling plant growth, organ size and yield in crop plants.
摘要:
The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides (SEQ ID NO: 3 and 4) of the ZmARGOS (Auxin-Regulated Gene involved in Organ Size) gene family. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZmARGOS genes. ZmARGOS is responsible for controlling plant growth, organ size and yield in crop plants. Transgenic plants expressing ZmARGOS show a positive impact on biomass accumulation and rate of maize plant growth, as well as an increase in organ size. These maize genes will find utility for enhancing agronomic traits in maize (and other crops).
