Expansin genes expression in growing ovaries and grains of sunflower are tissue-specific and associate with final grain weight
Abstract Background Grain weight (GW) is a key component of sunflower yield and quality, but may be limited by maternal tissues. Cell growth is influenced by expansin proteins that loosen the plant cell wall. This study aimed to identify spatio-temporal expression of EXPN genes in sunflower reproduc...
