Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb279350
• Gene Symbol: Emp601
• Gene Name: empty pericarp601
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The pentatricopeptide repeat protein Emp601 functions in maize seed development by affecting RNA editing of mitochondrial transcript ccmC.
• Emp601 functions in RNA editing of mitochondrial ccmC transcripts and influences mitochondrial function and seed development.
• Emp601 acts in mitochondrial function and seed development by regulating RNA editing of mitochondrial ccmC transcripts.
• Here we report the identification of the maize empty pericarp 601 (Emp601) mutant and the map-based cloning of the Emp601 gene, which encodes an E2-type PPR protein that is targeted to mitochondria.
• A single-nucleotide deletion in the Emp601 mutant caused a frameshift and introduced a premature stop codon into the predicted Emp601.
