Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb360640
• Gene Symbol: ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1
• Gene Name: Helminthosporium turcicum resistanceN1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Fungal resistance mediated by maize wall-associated kinase ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1 correlates with reduced benzoxazinoid content.
• Investigated the function of the maize gene ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1 (ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1) that confers quantitative resistance to northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Exserohilum turcicum.
• ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1 was found to localize to the plasma membrane and its presence resulted in a modification of the infection process by reducing pathogen penetration into host tissues.
• This indicates that ZmWAK-RLK1|Htn1 plays role in the reduction of pathogen penetration into host tissues, in agreement with the partial resistance/delayed susceptibility.
