Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb212270
• Gene Symbol: ZmABA2|sca1
• Gene Name: short chain alcohol dehydrogenase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmABA2|sca1, an interacting protein of ZmMPK5, is involved in abscisic acid biosynthesis and functions.
• Phosphorylation of Ser173 in ZmABA2|sca1 by ZmMPK5 was shown to increase the activity of ZmABA2|sca1 and the protein stability.
• Various abiotic stimuli induced the expression of ZmABA2|sca1 in leaves of maize plants. Pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biology and genetic analyses showed that both ZmMPK5 and ZmABA2|sca1 coordinately regulate the content of ABA.
• Overexpression of ZmABA2|sca1 in tobacco plants was found to elevate the content of ABA, regulate seed germination and root growth under drought and salt stress and enhance the tolerance of tobacco plants to drought and salt stress.
• ZmABA2|sca1 is a direct target of ZmMPK5 and is involved in ABA biosynthesis and functions.
