Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb227890
• Gene Symbol: ZmBRI1b
• Gene Name: brassinosteroid insensitive1b
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The predicted ZmBRI1b protein shows 93% amino acid identity and 95% similarity to maize ZmBRI1a, 79% amino acid identity and 88% similarity to OsBRI1, and 54% amino acid identity and 69% similarity to AtBRI1.
• The high expression levels of zmbri1a and ZmBRI1b, but not the other brl genes, suggest that the BRI1 receptors encoded by these two genes are of primary importance for regulating leaf growth.
• Zmbri1a and ZmBRI1b expression was high at the base of the leaf in the zones of active cell division and cell elongation, gradually declining as cells differentiate and mature.
• ZmBRI1b encodes a brassinosteroid receptor.
