Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb117820
• Gene Symbol: GN1
• Gene Name: Gnarley1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The strongly expressive allele GN1-R also gives rise to a floral phenotype in which ectopic carpels form. Introgression studies showed that the severity of the GN1-conferred phenotype is strongly influenced by genetic background. GN1 maps to knox4, and knox4 is ectopically expressed in plants with the GN1-conferred phenotype.
• Gnarley (GN1) is a dominant maize mutant that exhibits many of the phenotypic characteristics of the kn1 family of mutants.
• GN1 is unique due to cell shape changes in the sheath and internode and the presence of a floral phenotype.
• Cell Shape Changes Correlate with Altered Leaf Morphology in GN1-R Mutants.
• GN1 a knox4 homeobox gene affecting leaf and floral development.
