TaANT11‐4A enhances grain yield by orchestrating photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism through direct transcriptional activation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
TaANT11‐4A is a positive regulator of wheat grain size and yield, directly activating TaEGY2, TaAAE1, and TaAAE2 to enhance photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. The favorable Hap2 haplotype increases TaANT11‐4A expression and grain size, providing a genetic resource for breeding higher‐yielding wheat varieties.
