Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb228140
• Gene Symbol: Td1 ZmRLK ZmKIN5
• Gene Name: thick tassel dwarf1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The thick tassel dwarf1 (Td1)mutation of maize affects both male and female inflorescence development.
• Floral meristems are also affected in Td1 mutants; for example, male florets have an increase in stamen number.
• Td1 mutants are slightly shorter than normal siblings,indicating that Td1 also plays a role in vegetative development.
• The Td1 gene of maize regulated meristem size during inflorescence development.
• Td1 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) that is a putative ortholog of the Arabidopsis CLAVATA1 protein.
• Td1 maps in the vicinity of quantitative trait loci that affect seed row number, spikelet density and plant height.
