Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb014850
• Gene Symbol: PhyB1 pge(phyB1)
• Gene Name: phytochromeB1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• PhyB1 and not PHYB2 contributes significantly to the inhibition of mesocotyl elongation under red light, whereas PHYB2 and to a lesser extent PhyB1 mediate the photoperiod-dependent floral transition.
• Subfunctionalization of PhyB1 and PhyB2 in the control of seedling and mature plant traits in maize.
• We show that the highly similar PhyB1 and PhyB2 genes encode proteins with both overlapping and non-redundant functions that control seedling and mature plant traits.
• PHYB2 and to a lesser extent PhyB1 mediate the photoperiod-dependent floral transition.
• PhyB1 and PHYB2 regulate several aspects of seedling development, including mesocotyl elongation and chloroplast gene expression.
