Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb006160
• Gene Symbol: ZmEREB179
• Gene Name: AP2-EREBP transcription factor 179
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Genetic variations in ZmEREB179 are associated with waterlogging tolerance in maize.
• Identify a waterlogging- and ethylene-inducible gene ZmEREB179 that encodes an ethylene response factor (ERF) localized in the nucleus.
• Overexpression of ZmEREB179 in maize increases the sensitivity to waterlogging stress.
• The ZmEREB179 knockout mutants are more tolerant to waterlogging, suggesting that ZmEREB179 functions as a negative regulator of waterlogging tolerance.
• In summary, ZmEREB179 plays a crucial biological role in waterlogging tolerance by acting as a transcriptional repressor.
