qKW9 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: qKW9
Synonym: NA
Description: In a null qkw9 background, C-to-U editing of ndhB was abolished, and photosynthesis was reduced, resulting in less maternal photosynthate available for grain filling
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: DYW
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-DYW
Gene ID & Species: Zm00001d048451 (Zea mays)
Edited Gene(s): ndhB    NA
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (18)
Publication(s): [1] The Kernel Size-Related Quantitative Trait Locus Encodes a Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein That Aaffects Photosynthesis and Grain Filling., Plant physiology, 2020. [PMID=32482908]
