Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Maize BIG GRAIN1 homolog overexpression increases maize grain yield.
  • ZM-BG1H1 overexpression is associated with increased ear kernel row number and total ear kernel number and mass, but individual kernels trended slightly smaller and less dense.
  • The ZM-BG1H1 protein is detected in the plasma membrane like rice OS-BG1.
  • We report that overexpression of the ZM-BG1H1 homolog does increase maize grain yield across a range of field environments, demonstrating that BG1 homologs may improve yield across multiple crops.
