Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb159850
• Gene Symbol: THI2
• Gene Name: thiamine biosynthesis2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• THI2, a paralog of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) THI1, is highly expressed in dividing tissues (shoot apical meristem, immature tassel, and leaf primordium) and regulates organ formation.
• THIC is expressed in leaves and nodules, THI1 mainly in roots and nodules, and THI2 in flowers and leaves but not in roots.
• THI2-knockdown plants and the transposon insertion mutant thiC had chlorotic leaves. This typical phenotype of thiamine deficiency was rescued by an exogenous supply of thiamine.
• THI2 a thiamine biosynthetic gene involves shoot, inflorescence and leaves development.
• THI2-knockdown plants and the transposon insertion mutant thiC had chlorotic leaves.
• THI2 in flowers and leaves but not in roots.
