Elucidating the mode of action of the yield enhancing maize gene, ZmKLUH, and the development of novel strategies to improve maize yield Ghent University
In this research project we will examine the workings of a protein, KLUH, involved in plant growth.
It has been shown that KLUH regulates plant growth and increased activity of the KLUH results in
larger maize plants with more seeds with an increased size.
The exact mechanism of KLUH, however, is not known. Therefore in our proposed project we will
unravel the functioning of KLUH. It is known that a different protein ...
