Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb163120
• Gene Symbol: ZmPHOT1
• Gene Name: blue-light receptor phototropin 1
• 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.
• The ZmPHOT1 protein was investigated by Western blot analysis with anti-Osphot1 antibodies. ZmPHOT1 was detected in microsomal fractions, with higher levels in coleoptiles than in leaves. HBL caused rapid phosphorylation of the protein, whereas no phot1 phosphorylation was induced by LBL.
• The involvement of ZmPHOT1 in LBL-induced phototropic curvature of maize coleoptiles is discussed.
