Ectopic Expression of a Maize Gene <i>ZmDUF1645</i> in Rice Increases Grain Length and Yield, but Reduces Drought Stress Tolerance

Ectopic Expression of a Maize Gene <i>ZmDUF1645</i> in Rice Increases Grain Length and Yield, but Reduces Drought Stress Tolerance

As the human population grows rapidly, food shortages will become an even greater problem; therefore, increasing crop yield has become a focus of rice breeding programs. The maize gene, <i>ZmDUF1645</i>, encoding a putative member of the DUF1645 protein family with an unknown function, w...
