ZM00001EB164610 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB164610 on maize chromosome 4 encodes a protein of unknown biochemical function, but the gene is associated with a wide range of reproductive and developmental processes. It is linked to single and double fertilization, pollen tube development, meiosis, anaphase, metaphase, and asexual reproduction, as well as mitochondrial complex I assembly, pigmentation, and hypersensitivity. Among agronomically important traits, the gene is associated with self-incompatibility, cytoplasmic male sterility, anthesis silking interval, heterosis, plant height, ear length, leaf size, grain number, grain size, seed longevity, and plant vigor. These associations, drawn from ontology annotations and trait data, indicate the gene is linked to maize reproduction and yield-related characteristics, though its precise molecular function remains to be determined.
