Gene Details:

• Gene ID: IWGSC_chr2AL_ab_k71_contigs_longerthan_200_6436403
• Gene Symbol: TaFlo2-A1
• Gene Name: Floury endosperm2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaFlo2-A1, an ortholog of rice Flo2, is associated with thousand grain weight in bread wheat.
• The expression level of TaFlo2-A1 in developing grains at 5 DAF (days after flowering) was positively correlated with TGW in cultivars carrying the positive haplotype.
• These results suggested that the relative expression level of TaFlo2-A1 was highest in flag leaves but started to decrease in developing grains.
• This is mainly because the effect of TaFlo2-A1 is likely masked by other genes associated with grain size.
