TPS1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB353280 (ZmTPS1, also known as TPS2 or TPS4) on maize chromosome 8 encodes a protein with trehalose_OtsA, Glyco_trans_20, trehalose_PPase and HAD-like domains and is associated with transglucosylase and transglycosidase activity. The gene is associated with trehalose (mycose) biosynthesis and metabolism, diterpenoid and terpenoid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis, cell wall biogenesis, and developmental vegetative growth. It has been linked to grain yield, grain number, grain weight and size, ear weight, starch content, protein and amino acid content, plant height, days to tassel, anthesis time, grain filling period, root dry weight, chlorophyll content, stomatal resistance, salt response, and ethylene sensitivity. Associations also include cold and thermotolerance, flowering, embryo and seed development, shoot branching, vegetative phase change, and systemic immunity.
