Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb153000
• Gene Symbol: ZmCCD8
• Gene Name: CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE8
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Comparative genome analysis revealed that maize depends on a single CCD8 gene (ZmCCD8), unlike other panicoid grasses that have multiple CCD8 paralogs.
• Function of ZmCCD8 was confirmed by transgenic complementation of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) max4 (CCD8) and by phenotypic rescue of the maize mutant (zmCCD8::Ds) using a synthetic SL (GR24).
• ZmCCD8 Expression in Reproductive Organs and Vegetative tissues.
• Feedback Regulation of ZmCCD8 by SL Signaling.
• Short Stature, Inflorescence Size, and Narrow-Stalk Phenotypes of the zmCCD8 Mutant.
• The Small Root Architecture Phenotype of the zmCCD8 Mutant.
