Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb216130
• Gene Symbol: ZmPHD11
• Gene Name: PHD-transcription factor 11
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• 12 genes in eight types, including ZmbHLH51, ZmbHLH122, ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3, ZmTGA10, ZmMYB84, ZmMYB33-1/-2, ZmPHD11 and ZmLBD10/27, were identified as maize new GMS genes by using DNA sequencing, phenotypic and cytological analyses.
• ZmPHD11 is the maize ortholog of the reported GMS genes OsTIP3 and AtMMD1 encoding PHD finger TFs.
• ZmPHD11 is required for maize male fertility via controlling the formation of anther cuticle and Ubisch bodies.
• The results showed that null mutations of eight-type TF genes, including ZmbHLH51, ZmbHLH122, ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3, ZmTGA10, ZmMYB84, ZmMYB33-1/-2, ZmPHD11 and ZmLBD10/27, resulted in male sterility with different kinds of anther and pollen defects.
