Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb255970
• Gene Symbol: ZmbZIP4
• Gene Name: bZIP-transcription factor 4
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmPTF1, a phosphate starvation-induced basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, contributes to root development and low-phosphate tolerance in maize.
• The improved root system, increased ABA content, and activated ABA-, CBF4-, ATAF2-, and NAC30-mediated stress responses increased the drought tolerance of the ZmPTF1 overexpression lines, while the mutants showed opposite trends.
• ZmbZIP4 Contributes to Stress Resistance in Maize by Regulating ABA Synthesis and Root Development.
• ZmbZIP4 is a positive regulator of plant abiotic stress responses and is involved in root development in maize.
• ZmbZIP4 is involved in maize root growth.
