Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb078490
• Gene Symbol: ZmCCT9 ZmCOL04 ZmBBX5 col11
• Gene Name: C2C2-CO-like-transcription factor 11
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCCT has dual functions in regulating maize flowering time and stress response under LD conditions. ZmCCT negatively regulates flowering time and enhances maize drought tolerance under LD conditions.
• Several genes implicated in maize floral transition have been identified and functionally characterized including the CCT domain-containing genes ZmCCT, ZmCCT9, and the maize CONSTANS LIKE 3 (ZmCOL3), Zea mays MADS-box genes ZMM4 and ZmMADS69, the circadian clock component genes ZmCCA1 and ZmCCA1a, Zea mays CENTRORADIALIS 8 (ZCN8), and Zea mays NF-Y transcriptional factor gene ZmNF-YA3.
• Under LD conditions, ZmCCT9 delays flowering time by negative regulation of the florigen gene ZCN8. ZCN8 underlies the major flowering time quantitative trait locus qDTA8 that is involved in photoperiod sensitivity.
