PDC1 — Zea mays
Summary
ZM00001EB336190 (ZmPDC1) on maize chromosome 8 encodes a pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1) with pyruvate decarboxylase activity, thiamine pyrophosphate binding, and additional annotated functions including tRNA-adenosine deaminase activity and protein binding. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, anaerobic respiration, response to anoxia and lowered oxygen levels, aerenchyma formation, ear development, and vascular transport. It is linked to grain yield, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, grain filling period, starch and protein content, net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, cell membrane stability, and soluble protein content. Associations also include hypoxia and submergence tolerance, clubroot susceptibility, and early embryo arrest. Related genes in other species are linked to hypoxic tolerance and low temperature sweetening tolerance.
