Mutations at the <i>LYS3</i> locus in barley have multiple effects on grain development, including an increase in embryo size and a decrease in endosperm starch content. The gene underlying <i>LYS3</i> was identified by genetic mapping and mutations in this gene were identified in all four barley <i>lys3</i> alleles. <i>LYS3</i> encodes a transcription factor called Prolamin Binding Factor (PBF). Its role in controlling embryo size was confirmed using wheat TILLING mutants. To understand how <i> ...[more]
