RLD1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB294600 (RLD1) on maize chromosome 6 encodes a protein with multiple domains including BRX_N, FYVE zinc finger, RCC1-like, and PH domains, and is annotated for phosphatidate, phosphoinositide, and metal binding. The gene is associated with protein localization to the membrane, Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport, stomatal complex development, auxin anabolism, leaf and root development, and signal transduction. Its product localizes to the TGN, endosome, vacuole, Golgi, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm. RLD1 is linked to cold tolerance and anthesis time, and has been connected to root growth, leaf blade outgrowth, and auxin transport. Related genes in other species are associated with root development and domestication traits.
