    Molecular characterization and functional analysis of “fruit-weight2.2-like” gene family in rice

    Tomato fruit-weight 2.2 (FW2.2) was reported to control up to 30 % fruit weight. Recent studies demonstrated that FW2.2-like (FWL) genes also play important roles in plant growth and development. For instance, a ...
