Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb379120
• Gene Symbol: D3 ZmKAO ZmKAO1 ZmGAD5 gad5
• Gene Name: dwarf plant 3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We isolated the mutant gad5-1 (GA-Associated Dwarf 5), characterized by dwarfing, short internodes, and dark green and short leaves.
• The expression of ZmGAD5 is severely reduced, and the levels of the direct substrate of KAO, KA, is increased, leading to a reduction in GA content.
• D1 and D3 plants produce small amounts of bioactive GA, in agreement with biochemical analysis of these mutants." This suggests that the function of the dwarf3 gene is to reduce the production of bioactive gibberellins in maize plants.
• The function of dwarf3 gene is to reduce the production of bioactive gibberellin in maize plants.
• D3 increase in number of brace root whorls.
