Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb156910
• Gene Symbol: RUM1
• Gene Name: ROOTLESS WITH UNDETECTABLE MERISTEMS 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The maize (Zea mays L.) Aux/IAA protein RUM1 (ROOTLESS WITH UNDETECTABLE MERISTEMS 1) controls seminal and lateral root initiation.
• In line with this phenotype, RUM1-dependent mis-expression of several lignin biosynthesis genes was observed.
• The Aux/IAA gene RUM1 involved in seminal and lateral root formation controls vascular patterning in maize primary roots.
• Revealed the specific regulation of auxin signal transduction components by RUM1 and novel functions of RUM1 in vascular development.
• The RUM1 mutant displays enhanced lignification of aberrant pith cells.
• Heteroscedastic piecewise linear models were estimated for maize lateral roots of various lengths of both wild type and two mutants affected in auxin signaling (rtcs and rum-1).
