Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb268690
• Gene Symbol: ZmBELL10 hb38
• Gene Name: Homeobox-transcription factor 38
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmBELL10 interacts with other ZmBELLs and recognizes specific motifs for transcriptional activation to modulate internode patterning in maize.
• A BELL transcription factor, ZmBELL10, positively regulates plant height in maize (Zea mays). Loss of ZmBELL10 function resulted in shorter internodes, fewer nodes, and smaller kernels, while ZmBELL10 overexpression increased plant height and hundred-kernel weight.
• ZmBELL10 recognizes specific sequences in the promoter of its target genes and activates cell division- and cell elongation-related gene expression, thereby influencing node number and internode length in maize.
• ZmBELL10 positively regulates plant height; mutants resulted in shorter internodes, fewer nodes, and smaller kernels; verexpression increased plant height and hundred-kernel weight.
