Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb323880
• Gene Symbol: ZmbHLH90
• Gene Name: bHLH-transcription factor 90
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmbHLH80 and ZmbHLH90 transcription factors act antagonistically and contribute to regulate PEPC1 cell-specific gene expression in maize.
• The formation of homo- and heterodimers with higher oligomeric forms promoted by ZmbHLH80 may explain its negative effect on gene transcription.
• Our results led us to propose a model in which ZmbHLH80 contributes to mesophyll-specific ZmPEPC1 gene expression by impairing ZmbHLH90-mediated ZmPEPC1 activation in the bundle sheath cells.
