Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb068720
• Gene Symbol: Emp12 ZmPPR087
• Gene Name: empty pericarp12
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The mitochondrial pentatricopeptide repeat protein Emp12 is involved in the splicing of three nad2 introns and seed development in maize
• The mitochondrial pentatricopeptide repeat protein Emp12 is involved in the splicing of three nad2 introns and seed development in maize.
• Emp12 is targeted to mitochondria. Loss-of-function mutation in Emp12 severely arrests embryo and endosperm development, causing embryo lethality.
• Emp12 is required for the trans-splicing of nad2 intron 2 and cis-splicing of nad2 introns 1 and 4, and is important to complex I biogenesis, and embryogenesis and endosperm development in maize.
• Emp12 plays an essential role in nad2 intron splicing, mitochondria functions, and embryo and endosperm development in maize.
