AS2 — Zea mays
Summary
ZmAS2 (ZM00001EB145150) on maize chromosome 3 encodes a LOB domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, including both repressor and activator functions, and is associated with histone H3K27 trimethylase activity. This gene is associated with specification of adaxial/abaxial and proximal/distal axis patterning, organ boundary specification, lateral growth, root system development, and regulation of flavonoid anabolism. It is linked to numerous traits including leaf area, leaf width, leaf margin morphology, plastochron, endosperm morphology, fascicled ear, rootless, brassinosteroid and gibberellin content, oleic acid content, and vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to grain number, seed weight, root branching, leaf number, and pollen fertility.
