Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS2D02G262700
• Gene Symbol: FUL2-2D
• Gene Name: MADS-box transcription factor
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Wheat VRN1, FUL2 and FUL3 play critical and redundant roles in spikelet development and spike determinacy.
• MADS-box genes VRN1, FUL2 and FUL3 play critical and redundant roles in spikelet and spike development, and also affect flowering time and plant height.
• In the vrn1ful2ful3-null triple mutant, the inflorescence meristem formed a normal double-ridge structure, but then the lateral meristems generated vegetative tillers subtended by leaves instead of spikelets.
• The ful2-null mutant showed more florets per spikelet, which together with a higher number of spikelets, resulted in a significant increase in the number of grains per spike in the field.
• Inflorescence meristems of vrn1ful2ful3-null and vrn1ful2-null remained indeterminate and single vrn1-null and ful2-null mutants showed delayed formation of the terminal spikelet and increased number of spikelets per spike.
