Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb057030
• Gene Symbol: Emp10 ZmPPR072
• Gene Name: empty pericarp 10
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Here, we isolated an empty pericarp 10 (Emp10) mutant and identified the underlying gene by map-based cloning.
• The Emp10 mutant has undetectable activity of complex I and has arrested development of embryo and endosperm, and thus defective seeds with empty pericarp.
• Emp10 encodes a mitochondrial PPR protein that affects the cis-splicing of nad2 intron 1 and seed development in maize.
• Emp10 is specifically required for the cis-splicing of mitochondrial nad2 intron 1, embryogenesis and endosperm development in maize.
• The importance of Emp10 for the development of maize seed.
