Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb353930
• Gene Symbol: ZmAL14|ZmAL9
• Gene Name: Alfin-like-transcription factor 9
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of ZmAL14|ZmAL9 exhibits susceptibility to drought while mutation of ZmAL14|ZmAL9 enhances drought resistance.
• An abscisic acid (ABA)-activated protein kinase ZmSnRK2.2 interacts and phosphorylates ZmAL14|ZmAL9 at T38 residue.
• Phosphorylation of ZmAL14|ZmAL9 by ZmSnRK2.2 prevents its binding to the ZmROP8 promoter, thereby releasing the repression of ZmROP8 transcription.
• Overexpression (OE) of ZmAL14|ZmAL9 increases drought sensitivity while mutations of ZmAL14|ZmAL9 enhance drought tolerance in maize.
• ZmAL14|ZmAL9 is a negative regulator of drought resistance, which can be phosphorylated by ZmSnRK2.2 through the ABA signaling pathway, thus preventing its suppression on ZmROP8 transcription during drought stress response.
