Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb080570
• Gene Symbol: ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24
• Gene Name: general regulatory factor1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression of the maize ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 gene in rice confers tolerance to drought stress while enhancing susceptibility to pathogen infection.
• In this study the functional characterization of the ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 gene encoding a maize 14-3-3 protein is reported. Gene expression analyses indicated that ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 is up-regulated by fungal infection and salt treatment in maize plants, whereas its expression is down-regulated by drought stress.
• It is reported that rice plants constitutively expressing ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 displayed enhanced tolerance to drought stress which was accompanied by a stronger induction of drought-associated rice genes.
• These results improve our understanding of the role of ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 in stress signalling pathways, while indicating that ZmGF14-6|ZmGRF24 inversely regulates the plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
