Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb388200
• Gene Symbol: ZmAPRG arpg1
• Gene Name: acid phosphatase-regulating gene1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmAPRG, an uncharacterized gene, enhances acid phosphatase activity and Pi concentration in maize leaf during phosphate starvation.
• An uncharacterized gene, ZmAPRG, isolated by map-based cloning, enhances acid phosphatase activity and phosphate concentration in maize leaf during phosphate starvation.
• ZmAPRG functions as an upstream regulation node, directly or indirectly regulating APases, protein phosphatases, and phosphate transporter genes involved in Pi metabolism and utilization in maize. These findings will pave the way for elucidating the mechanism of APase regulation, absorption and utilization of Pi, and would facilitate maize breeding for efficient use of fertilizers.
• ZmAPRG mutant confers a P-efficient ability to plant. Overexpression of the gene significantly increased acid phosphatase activity and Pi concentration in maize leaves.
• ZmNF-YC1-ZmAPRG pathway modulates low phosphorus tolerance in maize.
