Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb242820
• Gene Symbol: ZmINCW1
• Gene Name: cell wall invertase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmINCW1 is close to QTL peaks for kernel size/weight and contains significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms affecting kernel size/weight in the association panel.
• Overexpression of this gene can rescue the reduced weight of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) homozygous mutant line in the AtcwINV2 gene (Arabidopsis ortholog of ZmINCW1).
• The function of ZmINCW1, a homolog of rice GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING1 that affects seed size and weight, was characterized in detail.
• ZmINCW1, an ortholog of the rice seed weight gene GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING1 (GIF1), had a conserved function that affects kernel/seed development in maize and Arabidopsis.
• ZmINCW1, Whose Protein Sequence Has High Similarity to Rice GIF1, Affects Kernel Development in Maize.
• Overexpression of Maize ZmINCW1 in Arabidopsis Can Increase Seed Weight
