Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS5B02G257300.1
• Gene Symbol: TaGSNE
• Gene Name: Grain Size and Number Enhancer
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaGSNE, a WRKY transcription factor, overcomes the trade-off between grain size and grain number in common wheat and is associated with root development.
• In this study, we identify the WRKY gene TaGSNE (Grain Size and Number Enhancer) in common wheat, and find that it has relatively high expression in leaves and roots, and is induced by multiple abiotic stresses.
• Furthermore, transgenic rice lines overexpressing TaGSNE had larger panicles, more grains, increased grain size, and increased grain yield relative to the wild-type control
• Our findings demonstrate that TaGSNE overcomes the trade-off between TGW/grain size and grain number, leading us to conclude that these elite haplotypes and their functional markers could be utilized in marker-assisted selection for breeding high-yielding varieties.
