Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb411340
• Gene Symbol: ZmAER
• Gene Name: alkenal reductase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Here, we overexpressed maize endogenous NADPH-dependent 2-alkenal reductase (ZmAER) in maize| it significantly increased the tolerance of transgenic plants (OX-AER) to LN stress.
• The results showed that the overexpression with ZmAER significantly increased plant biomass and plant NUE by 18−34% compared with those of WT plants under LN condition.
• We compared the biomass, nitrogen accumulation, NUE and photosynthesis between ZmAER-overexpressing transgenic plants (OX-AER plants) and WT plants under LN stress and high nitrogen conditions (HN).
• Overall, up-regulated ZmAER expression could enhance maize’s tolerance to LN stress by alleviating oxidative stress and improve NUE.
• Overexpression of ZmAER increased the AER activity in maize plants.
• Overexpression of ZmAER improved photosynthetic traits in transgenic plants under the LN condition.
