RLD1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB362840 (RLD1, also known as PRAF4, ZmPRAF8, and other synonyms) on maize chromosome 8 encodes a protein containing Brevis radix (BRX), RCC1, PH, and FYVE zinc-finger domains, and is annotated for zinc binding. The gene is associated with auxin anabolism, leaf development, and root development, and its product localises to the nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to root and leaf growth regulation, consistent with the observed associations in maize.
