Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb287000
• Gene Symbol: ARGOS8
• Gene Name: Zea mays ARGOS8
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Maize ARGOS8 is a negative regulator of ethylene responses. A previous study has shown that transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing ARGOS8 have reduced ethylene sensitivity and improved grain yield under drought stress conditions.
• The ARGOS8 variants increased grain yield by five bushels per acre under flowering stress conditions and had no yield loss under well-watered conditions.
• Maize ARGOS8 is a negative regulator of ethylene responses.
• Overexpressing ARGOS8 have reduced ethylene sensitivity and improved grain yield under drought stress conditions.
• ARGOS8 reduced nodal roots.
