Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb091250
• Gene Symbol: ZM908|Zm908p11
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZM908|Zm908p11, encoded by a short open reading frame (sORF) gene, functions in pollen tube growth as a profilin ligand in maize.
• The longest ORF of ZM908|Zm908p11 encodes a small protein of 97 amino acids. This was designated as ZM908|Zm908p11 and is distributed throughout the maize pollen tube. Western blot detected the small peptide in mature pollen.
• Overexpression of ZM908|Zm908p11 in maize decreased pollen germination efficiency.
• Taken together, these results indicate that ZM908|Zm908p11 functions as ZM908|Zm908p11, and binds to profilins as a novel ligand, with a required role during pollen tube growth in maize.
• A model is proposed for the role of ZM908|Zm908p11 during pollen tube growth in maize.
