Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb272490
• Gene Symbol: Si1
• Gene Name: silky1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression patterns of related genes bd1, zmm14 and Si1 that control inflorescence development
• Silky1 (Si1) and sterile tassel silky ear1 (sts1), the maize homologs of the Arabidopsis B-class genes, also regulate the development of floral organs in the second and third whorls.
• Si1 was a B-class gene involved in the development of second and third whorl organs, loss-of-function Si1 mutants exhibited homeotic transformation of floral organs.
• In Si3 tassel spikelets, the expression level of Si1 was significantly decreased relative to the wild type, but there was no change in its expression domains.
