Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb014970
• Gene Symbol: YIGE1
• Gene Name: yige1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The additive function of YIGE2 and YIGE1 in regulating maize ear length.
• YIGE1 is involved in sugar and auxin pathways to regulate ear inflorescence meristem (IM) development and thus affects EL in maize.
• The genes controlling auxin levels are differential expressed in YIGE1 yige2 double mutants, leading to lower auxin level.
• These results elucidated the critical role of YIGE2 and the redundancy between YIGE2 and YIGE1 in maize ear development, providing a new genetic resource for maize yield improvement.
