Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Zm00001eb298280
- Gene Symbol: VKS1 KIN11 krp11 ZmaKIN11
- Gene Name: varied kernel size 1
- Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
- Species: Zea mays
Functional Descriptions:
- We isolated a maize mutant that shows a varied-kernel-size phenotype (VKS1).
- Vks1 encodes ZmKIN11, which belongs to the kinesin-14 subfamily and is predominantly expressed in early endosperm development.
- Absence of VKS1 has relatively minor effects on plants but causes deformities in spindle assembly.
- Our discovery highlights VKS1 as a central regulator of mitosis in early maize endosperm development and provides a potential approach for future yield improvement.
- Maize VKS1 Regulates Mitosis and Cytokinesis During Early Endosperm Development.
- VKS1 mutants exhibit a varied-kernel-size phenotype - segregated small seeds of varying sizes.
