Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb351280
• Gene Symbol: Spp1
• Gene Name: sucrose-phosphatase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Suppressor of pericarp pigmentation 1 (Spp1), a novel gene involved in phlobaphene accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) pericarps.
• Homozygous seeds of these Spp1 alleles showed a classic shrunken1 kernel phenotype, indicating that Spp1 has an essential role for normal grain filling.
• In vitro pollen germination test showed approximately 50% of pollens obtained from heterozygous Spp1-d1 plants elongated pollen tubes, suggesting that Spp1 is required for pollen tube elongation.
