Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb217290
• Gene Symbol: ZmAGO18AGO5a
• Gene Name: argonaute108
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmAGO18b negatively regulates maize resistance against southern leaf blight.
• Overexpression of ZmAGO18b gene suppresses maize resistance against C. heterostrophus, and mutation of ZmAGO18b enhances maize resistance against C. heterostrophus.
• We identified the resistant haplotype of ZmAGO18b by association analysis of natural variation in ZmAGO18b genomic DNA sequences with seedling resistance phenotypes against C. heterostrophus and confirmed the resistant haplotype is co-segregated with resistance phenotypes against C. heterostrophus in two F2 populations.
• AGO18b is a negative regulator of the determinacy of inflorescence and axillary meristems, and that it acts by interacting with the miR166-HD-ZIP III TF regulatory pathway.
• AGO18b negatively regulates determinacy of spikelet meristems on the tassel central spike in maize.
