Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb029300
• Gene Symbol: RS2
• Gene Name: rough sheath2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The maize rough sheath2(RS2) gene, which encodes a Myb-domain protein, is expressed in lateral organ primordia and their initials.
• Mutations in theRS2 gene permit ectopic expression of knox genes in leaf and floral primordia, causing a variety of developmental defects.
• ROUGH SHEATH2: A Myb Protein That Represses knox Homeobox Genes in Maize Lateral Organ Primordia.
• Ectopic KNOX protein accumulation in RS2 mutants occurs in a subset of the normal RS2-expressing cells.
