PGY1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZmPGY1 (ZM00001EB176070) on maize chromosome 4 encodes a ribosomal uL1 family protein that is a structural constituent of the ribosome, with ATP hydrolase activity and RNA, mRNA and protein binding capabilities. The gene is associated with depurination, heat dissipation, phosphorus utilization, downregulation of photosynthesis, lysine anabolism, carotenoid breakdown, energy homeostasis, steroid metabolism, water transport, electron transport chain, regulation of photosynthesis, and post-embryonic plant organ development. It localizes to the large ribosomal subunit, cytosolic ribosome, nucleolus, plasmodesma, plastid, and proteasome. ZmPGY1 is associated with coleoptile length, root branching, zinc sensitivity, meristem tissue development, inflorescence morphology, herbicide sensitivity, cytoplasmic male sterility, meristem identity, root meristem development, water use efficiency, leaf composition, seed size, root development, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, organ identity, protein content, grain size, grain weight, root length, disease tolerance, anthesis time, plant growth and development, grain yield, and drought tolerance.
