NFYB10 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB253260 (NFYB10) on maize chromosome 5 encodes a transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II, belonging to the NF-YB/HAP3 family with a histone-fold domain. It is associated with seed maturation, maintenance of seed dormancy, seed growth, seed morphogenesis, grain size, grain yield, and seed weight. The gene is linked to carotene anabolism, auxin metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, triglyceride anabolism, and ALA metabolism. It is associated with organ induction, callus formation, regeneration, meristem development, and upregulation of unidimensional cell growth. Associations also include stearic acid content, protein content, leaf angle, plastochron, and downregulation of long-day photoperiodism, flowering. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and CCAAT-binding factor complex.
