Neo-functionalization of a Teosinte branched 1 homologue mediates adaptations of upland rice
A transposon insertion in the regulatory region of maize Tb1 gene leads to increased apical dominance and a reduction of tillering. Here, the authors showed that a duplicated rice Tb1 orthologue, OsTb2, has gained a regulatory effect on tillering opposite that of OsTb1 during artificial selection on...
