Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb362740
• Gene Symbol: LRP1
• Gene Name: LATERAL ROOT PRIMORDIA 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression of LRP1 is confined to early root primordia and meristems and is auxin-inducible. Based on its primary protein structure, LRP1 is predicted to be a transcription factor.
• LRP1 protein is involved in maize auxin signal transduction downstream of rum1 which regulates the initiation of lateral and seminal roots.
• Maize LRP1 is expressed in lateral and crown root primordia and is auxin-inducible.
• LRP1 in root meristems, suggests a function in maize root development via the RUM1-dependent auxin signalling pathway.
• LATERAL ROOT PRIMORDIA 1 of maize acts as a transcriptional activator in auxin signalling downstream of the Aux/IAA gene rootless with undetectable meristem 1.
