Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb042710
• Gene Symbol: ZmPHOT2
• Gene Name: blue-light receptor phototropin 2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Blue-light regulation of ZmPHOT1 and ZmPHOT2 gene expression and the possible involvement of Zmphot1 in phototropism in maize coleoptiles.
• ZmPHOT1 and ZmPHOT2 are expressed differentially in maize coleoptiles and leaves, with Zmphot1 possibly involved in first-positive phototropic curvature of red-light-adapted maize coleoptiles exposed to pulsed low-fluence blue light.
• Quantitative real-time PCR analysis demonstrated that ZmPHOT1 was abundantly expressed in etiolated coleoptiles, while lower expressions of both ZmPHOT1 and ZmPHOT2 were observed in young leaves.
• Database and sequence analyses indicated that the protein encoded by ZmPHOT2 belongs to the plant phot2 clade. Zmphot1 and ZmPHOT2 contain two highly conserved LOV domains and a serine/threonine protein kinase domain, indicating that they are active phototropin proteins in maize, similar to phot1 and phot2 proteins in Arabidopsis and various other plants.
