Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The narrow sheath (ns) phenotype of maize is a duplicate factor trait conferred by mutations at the unlinked loci NS1 and ns2.
  • NS1 and NS2 transcripts accumulate to equivalent levels in shoot meristems of vegetative seedlings, ns2 transcripts predominate in female inflorescences.
  • The ns phenotype is a duplicate factor trait controlled by recessive mutations at two unlinked loci, NS1 and ns2.
  • The maize duplicate genes narrow sheath1 and narrow sheath2 encode a conserved homeobox gene function in a lateral domain of shoot apical meristems.
  • Mutations in NS1 and ns2 together confer the deletion of a lateral domain in maize leaves that extends from the midpoint of the distal blade and includes the entire length of the proximal sheath.
