Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb373660
• Gene Symbol: ZmC1 ZmMYB1 SC39
• Gene Name: colored aleurone1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmC1, ZmIn1, ZmDFR, ZmBz1 and ZmBz2 were not detected in HiII embryos, whereas all the nine genes were actively expressed in purple transgenic embryos
• ZmBz1, ZmBz2, ZmC1 and ZmR2 are four genes involved in anthocyanin synthesis.
• Fluorescence visualization for GFP and anthocyanin biosynthesis for ZmBz1, ZmBz2, ZmC1 and ZmR2 in developing kernels.
• Identification marker through co-expression of two transcription factor genes (ZmC1 and ZmR2) driven by the embryo–aleurone-specific bidirectional promoter PZmBD1; these factors can activate anthocyanin biosynthesis in the embryo and aleurone layer during early seed development.
