Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb247450
• Gene Symbol: ZmCER1
• Gene Name: ECERIFERUM 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCER1 is positively correlated with plant drought tolerance.
• ZmCER1, encoding a very-long-chain aldehyde decarbonylase, is responsible for the rgd4 phenotype.
• Mutations of ZmCER1 were responsible for the phenotype of rgd4.
• Overexpressing ZmCER1 does not affect leaf development.
• ZmCER1 is an ER-localized protein.
• ZmCER1 might be associated with biotic and abiotic stress responses.
