Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb309770
• Gene Symbol: ZmCCD10a ccd9
• Gene Name: carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase9
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCCD10a cleaved neoxanthin, violaxanthin, antheraxathin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene in planta, corroborating functional divergence of ZmCCD10a and ZAS.
• ZmCCD10a expression was dramatically stimulated in maize and teosinte (Z. mays ssp. parviglumis, Z. mays ssp. huehuetenangensis, Zea luxurians, and Zea diploperennis) roots by phosphate (Pi) limitation.
• ZmCCD10a silencing favored phosphorus retention in the root and reduced phosphorus and biomass accumulation in the shoot under low Pi.
• ZmCCD10a encodes a distinct type of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase and enhances plant tolerance to low phosphate.
• ZmCCD10a silencing favored phosphorus retention in the root and reduced phosphorus and biomass accumulation in the shoot under low Pi. Overexpression of ZmCCD10a in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) enhanced plant tolerance to Pi limitation by preferential phosphorus allocation to the shoot.
• ZmCCD10a-involved regulatory pathway that adjusts Pi allocation.
