Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb403030
• Gene Symbol: RTCL
• Gene Name: RTCS-like1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The RTCS-LIKE (RTCL) gene displays 72% sequence identity on the protein level. Both genes are preferentially expressed in roots. Expression of RTCS in coleoptilar nodes is confined to emerging shoot-borne root primordia.
• Sequence analyses of the RTCS and RTCL upstream genomic regions identified auxin response elements.
• RTCS and RTCL are auxin-responsive genes involved in the early events that lead to the initiation and maintenance of seminal and shoot-borne root primordia formation.
• The RTCS and RTCL promoters contain auxin response elements and the genes are auxin inducible.

Literature:

• The maize (Zea mays L.) RTCS gene encodes a LOB domain protein that is a key regulator of embryonic seminal and post-embryonic shoot-borne root initiation.   DOI:  10.1111/j.1365-313X.2007.03075.x ;  PMID:  17425722
