Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb257680
• Gene Symbol: Zm00001eb257680
• Gene Name: sucrose non-fermenting 1 kinase interactor-like protein
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• By comparing the genomic locations of the 273 SNPs with those of the 281 DEGs, we identified seven candidate genes, of which GRMZM2G119769 encoded a sucrose non-fermenting 1 kinase interactor-like protein. GRMZM2G119769 was selected as the candidate gene because its homologs in other plants were related to organ length, auxin, or light response.
• Candidate gene association mapping revealed that natural variations in GRMZM2G119769 were related to phenotypic variations in maize mesocotyl length. Gene expression of GRMZM2G119769 was higher in deep-sowing tolerant inbred lines.
• These results suggest that GRMZM2G119769 is the most likely candidate gene. This study provides information on the deep-sowing tolerance of maize germplasms and identifies candidate genes, which would be useful for further research on maize deep-sowing tolerance.
