We created a new high-coverage, robust, and reproducible functional annotation of maize protein-coding genes based on Gene Ontology (GO) term assignments. Whereas the existing Phytozome and Gramene maize GO annotation sets only cover 41% and 56% of maize protein-coding genes, respectively, this study provides annotations for 100% of the genes. We also compared the quality…

Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) pollution in paddy soil and their accumulation in rice ( Oryza sativa ) pose serious threats to human health. Rice internally detoxifies these toxic metal and metalloid to some extent, resulting in their accumulation within the edible parts. However, the mechanisms of Cd and As detoxification in rice have…
Abstract The Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form two protein complexes, PcG Repressive Complex 1 ( PRC 1) and PRC 2, which are key epigenetic regulators in eukaryotes. PRC 2 represses gene expression by catalyzing the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ), CURLY LEAF ( CLF ) and SWINGER…
Abstract Improving yield by increasing the size of produce is an important selection criterion during the domestication of fruit and vegetable crops. Genes controlling meristem organization and organ formation work in concert to regulate the size of reproductive organs. In tomato, lc and fas control locule number, which often leads to enlarged fruits compared to…
Abstract Plant viruses can be engineered to carry sequences that direct silencing of target host genes, expression of heterologous proteins, or editing of host genes. A set of foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) vectors was developed that can be used for transient gene expression and single guide RNA delivery for Cas9‐mediated gene editing in maize, Setaria…
