Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb081610
• Gene Symbol: TS1 ZmLOX8 lox8
• Gene Name: tasselseed1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We positionally cloned and characterized the function of the sex determination gene tasselseed1 (TS1).
• The TS1 protein encodes a plastid-targeted lipoxygenase with predicted 13-lipoxygenase specificity, which suggests that TS1 may be involved in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone jasmonic acid.
• In the absence of a functional TS1 gene, lipoxygenase activity was missing and endogenous jasmonic acid concentrations were reduced in developing inflorescences.
• TS1 encodes a lipoxygenase affecting Jasmonic Acid signaling in sex determination and inflorescence.
• tasselseed1 Is a Lipoxygenase Affecting Jasmonic Acid Signaling in Sex Determination of Maize.
• The TS1 protein encodes a plastid-targeted lipoxygenase with predicted 13-lipoxygenase specificity, which suggests that TS1 may be involved in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone jasmonic acid.
