Through the genetic bottleneck: O. rufipogon as a source of trait-enhancing alleles for O. sativa (2007, background): “The gw3.1 gene was recently cloned and found to encode a protein consisting of 232 amino acids with a putative phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP)-like domain, a trans-membrane region and a Von Willebrand Factor, type C (VWFC) module ( Fan et al. 2006 ) that behaves as a dominant-negativ”
A Quantitative Trait Locus for Chlorophyll Content and its Association with Leaf Photosynthesis in Rice (2010, background): “, grain size and grain number) has been well analyzed in rice plants, and several QTLs controlling grain number per panicle and grain size have been identified (Ashikari et al. 2005; Fan et al. 2006; Song et al. 2007; Shomura et al. 2008; Huang et al. 2009).”
Mapping quantitative trait loci for oil, starch, and protein concentrations in grain with high-oil maize by SSR markers (2008, background): “More recently, it was isolated as a putative transmembrane protein by Fan et al. (2006) in rice chromosome 3.”
Association Mapping for Enhancing Maize (Zea mays L.) Genetic Improvement (2011, background): “The GS3 ortholog was cloned in maize and resequenced for association mapping analysis, and several polymorphisms signifi cantly associated with maize kernel size were identifi ed (Li et al., 2010a).”
Linking differential domain functions of the GS3 protein to natural variation of grain size in rice (2010, background): “(8): a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP)-like domain of 54 aa at the N terminus, a transmembrane region at amino acids 97–117, a TNFR (tumor necrosis factor receptor)/NGFR (nerve growth factor receptor) family cysteine-rich domain at sites 116–155, and a von Willebrand factor type C (V”
Breeding high-yield superior quality hybrid super rice by rational design (2016, positive): “Several genes for grain quality QTLs, such as GS3 for grain length, GW8 for grain width [69], Chalk5 for chalkiness [78] and Badh2 for rice fragrance [79], have been cloned [57, 63, 80, 81].”
SmartGrain: High-Throughput Phenotyping Software for Measuring Seed Shape through Image Analysis1[C][W][OA] (2012, methodology): “Several important seed shape QTLs, such as GS3 (Fan et al., 2006), GW2 (Song et al., 2007), qSW5/GW5 (Shomura et al., 2008; Weng et al., 2008), GS5 (Li et al., 2011), and GW8 (Wang et al., 2012), have been cloned by using map-based strategies.”
