Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Here we show that a distant Harbinger-like transposon acts as a cis-regulatory element to repress ZmCCT9 expression to promote flowering under the long days of higher latitudes.
  • The transposon at ZmCCT9 and another functional transposon at a second flowering-time gene, ZmCCT10, arose sequentially following domestication and were targeted by selection as maize spread from the tropics to higher latitudes.
  • ZmCCT9 enhances maize adaptation to higher latitudes.
  • ZmCCT9 is diurnally regulated and negatively regulates the expression of the florigen ZCN8, thereby resulting in late flowering under long days.
  • ZmCCT9 negatively regulates the expression of florigen gene ZCN8, thereby delaying the flowering time of maize under long day conditions.
  • ZmCCT9 photoperiod response locus; confers later flowering in teosintes under longer day lengths; knockout mutant causes early flowering under long days
