Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G372364
• Gene Symbol: ZmCLE7
• Gene Name: clavata3/esr-related7
• Genome: B73_RefGen_v3
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• CRISPR–Cas9 to edit maize CLE promoters and a newly characterized maize CLE gene identified through its compensatory upregulation in a ZmCLE7 mutant.
• This inversion allele led to an expanded expression of ZmCLE7 in developing ear primordia, from the normal epidermal-enriched expression towards the centre of the IM.
• As ZmCLE7 and ZmFCP1 control meristem size, we observed roughly 5mm stage developing ear primordia in a subset of the alleles.
• ZmCLE7 promoter-edited alleles as heterozygotes with a null allele increase IM size.
• At harvest, the fasciated ears of ZmCLE7 null alleles are highly disorganized and shorter with much lower grain yield.
