LG1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB432520 (LG1) on maize chromosome 10 encodes an SBP-domain protein with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, and zinc binding activities, localizing to the nucleus. This gene is associated with leaf development, ligule and auricle formation, lateral growth, morphogenesis, organogenesis, and regulation of secondary shoot formation. It is linked to ligule morphology, leaf angle, leaf length and width, plant height, tassel branch number and angle, ear number, grain yield, anthesis time, plant vigor, and crop stand. Additional associations include auxin transport and signaling, brassinosteroid anabolism and content, abscisic acid breakdown, shade avoidance, light absorption, ethylene sensitivity, phyllotaxy, plastochron, and activation of defence response to bacteria. Related genes in other species are linked to panicle architecture, leaf inclination, and domestication traits.
