Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb009640
• Gene Symbol: ZmBAM1d
• Gene Name: BARELY ANY MERISTEM 1d ortholog
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Only one candidate gene, Zm00001d028317, encoding a CLAVATA1 (CLV1)/BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM)-related receptor kinase-like protein, which localized on the plasma membrane, was identified in this region. Based on the phylogeny, we named it ZmBAM1d.
• We also demonstrate the utility of this new genome by using it to clone the first maize kernel weight QTL, ZmBAM1d, which was targeted for selection during maize improvement.
• ZmBAM1d regulates seed development through pathways affecting determinacy and carbohydrate metabolism.
• ZmBAM1d positively regulates corn kernel weight, and overexpression and knockout of this gene had no effect on other agronomic traits.
