TL;DR: Positive reaction of S. bicolor by TBIA using SCYLV antibodies could not be systematically associated with plant infection bySCYLV or another virus, suggesting the occurrence of a non-specific serological reaction with an unknown S. Bicolor antigen.
A shrunken-2 Transgene Increases Maize Yield by Acting in Maternal Tissues to Increase the Frequency of Seed Development
L. Curtis Hannah,Brandon Futch,James W. Bing,Janine R. Shaw,Susan K. Boehlein,Jon D. Stewart,Robert Beiriger,Nikolaos Georgelis,Thomas W. Greene +8 more
TL;DR: Several lines of evidence are presented that lead to the conclusion that the Sh2 transgene functions in maternal tissue to increase seed number and, in turn, yield, which suggests that increasing the frequency of seed development is a feasible agricultural target, especially under conditions of elevated temperatures.
