Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb015210
• Gene Symbol: ZmCIPK3 ZmSnRK3.2
• Gene Name: calcineurin B-like-interacting protein kinase3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCIPK3 had significantly higher expression in seminal root tissue under WS than that under WW
• ZmCIPK3 was significantly associated with seminal root length under drought stress, and a lead SNP significantly associated with ZmCIPK3 and located in the UTR5 of ZmCIPK3 was selected in both China and the United States during maize breeding.
• ZmCIPK3 plays an important role in regulating root growth and improving drought tolerance at seedlings stage.
• One of high-confidence candidate genes, ZmCIPK3 was functionally characterised and probably plays a role in enhancing drought tolerance through regulating seminal root growth.
• ZmCIPK3 could improve drought tolerance during reproductive stage, which is greatly important for maize yield increase in arid and semi-arid regions, needs further study in the future.
