Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb164120
• Gene Symbol: ZCN1 pebp1
• Gene Name: phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpressing ZCN1, ZCN2, ZCN4, and ZCN5 maintained the indeterminacy of the inflorescence meristem for a longer period, allowing the production of more lateral organs compared with nontransgenic siblings.
• ZCN1 showed moderate effects on flowering time and tassel morphology.
• Overexpression of ZCN1 produced transgenic plants that are late flowering and have tassels with an increased number of lateral branches and high spikelet density.
• Tassel and ear traits of ZCN1 to -6 transgenic maize plants.
