Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS6B02G366300
• Gene Symbol: TaBG1
• Gene Name: TaBG1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Ectopic expression of TaBG1 increases seed size and alters nutritional characteristics of the grain in wheat but does not lead to increased yields.
• It was found that increased TaBG1-A expression could indeed lead to larger seed size but was linked to a reduction in seed number per plant leading to no significant overall increase in yield.
• TaBG1 does control seed size in wheat but increasing the seed size per se does not increase yield and may come at the cost of lower concentrations of essential elements as well as potentially lower protein content.
• TaBG1 could be a useful target for further breeding efforts in combination with other genes for increased biomass.
