Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb429620
• Gene Symbol: ZmC2H2-149
• Gene Name: C2H2-type zinc finger family protein 149
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmC2H2-149 negatively regulates drought tolerance by repressing ZmHSD1 in maize.
• By subjecting 150 Ac/Ds mutant lines to drought stress, we successfully identified a Ds-insertion mutant, ZmC2H2-149, which shows increased tolerance to drought stress.
• Overexpression of ZmC2H2-149 in maize led to a decrease in both drought tolerance and crop yield. DAP-Seq, RNA-Seq, Y1H and LUC assays additionally showed that ZmC2H2-149 directly suppresses the expression of a positive drought tolerance regulator, ZmHSD1 (hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1).
• ZmC2H2-149 represses the expression of Zm00001d007345 (hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, ZmHSD1) to negatively regulate drought tolerance and leads to yield loss in maize. These findings indicated that both ZmC2H2-149 and ZmHSD1, which are regulated by ZmC2H2-149, play important roles in drought tolerance.
