Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb219100
• Gene Symbol: ZmLBD27
• Gene Name: LBD-transcription factor 27
• 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/ZmLBD27, were identified as maize new GMS genes by using DNA sequencing, phenotypic and cytological analyses.
• ZmLBD10/ZmLBD27 double-gene mutant displayed partial male sterility with 32.18% of aborted pollen grains.
• These results indicated that ZmLBD27 may not be completely necessary for maize anther cuticle and tapetum development; nevertheless, it still has an impact on the reduced ratio of normal pollen grains.
• Loss of ZmLBD27 function led to partial male sterility, while ZmLBD10 mutants displayed male fertility.
