Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb328280
• Gene Symbol: ZmFDL1|ZmMYB94
• Gene Name: fused leaves1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Drought-Responsive ZmFDL1|ZmMYB94/MYB94 Regulates Cuticle Biosynthesis and Cuticle-Dependent Leaf Permeability.
• Lack of ZmFDL1|ZmMYB94/MYB94 affects the expression of genes located in different modules of the pathway, and we highlighted the correspondence between gene transcriptional variations and biochemical defects.
• We observed a decrease in cuticle-dependent leaf permeability in maize seedlings exposed to drought as well as abscisic acid treatment, which implies coordinated changes in the transcript levels of ZmFDL1|ZmMYB94/MYB94 and associated genes.
• Overall, our results suggest that the response to water stress implies the activation of wax biosynthesis and the involvement of both ZmFDL1|ZmMYB94/MYB94 and abscisic acid regulatory pathways.
