Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS2B02G202300
• Gene Symbol: TaGW7-B1
• Gene Name: DUF4378 domain-containing protein
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Effects of the TaGW7 gene editing on grain size and weight.
• With the increase in the functional TaGW7 copy number, the grain width and TGW decreased and grain length increased (Figure 3), but change in grain area was not obvious.
• By editing the TaGW7 homoeologs in the B and D genomes, we showed that mutations in either of the two or both genomes increased the grain width and weight but reduced the grain length.
• The effect sizes of mutations in the TaGW7 gene homoeologs coincided with the relative levels of their expression in the B and D genomes.
• The effects of gene editing on grain morphology and weight traits were dosage dependent with the double-copy mutant showing larger effect than the respective single copy mutants.
