The invention discloses a
wheat grain weight
gene WGY1 as well as an encoded
protein and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological breeding. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is how to regulate and control the
grain weight of wheat. To this end, the present application provides proteins and related biomaterials that modulate
plant yield. The invention also provides application of the
protein and related
biological materials thereof in regulation and control of
plant yield. According to the application, the WGY1
gene is finally obtained through
gene localization and map-based
cloning. The gene and the
protein coded by the gene can be widely applied to the
plant fields of wheat genetic breeding,
germplasm resource improvement, transgenosis,
genome editing breeding and the like, and play an important role in improving
germplasm resources of crops such as wheat and the like.
