Functional Descriptions:

• These results demonstrate the pleiotropy of ZmCAO1 function in photosynthesis, grain yield, and waterlogging tolerance in maize.
• Our findings confirm that the ZmCAO1 plays a key role in Chl b biosynthesis, grain yield, and waterlogging tolerance in maize.
• Mutation of ZmCAO1 alters the metabolic flux of the Chl biosynthesis pathway.
• ZmCAO1 regulates photosystem, light-harvesting, and the development of endosperm and embryo.
• The mutation of ZmCAO1 decreases waterlogging tolerance in maize.
