Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb169480
• Gene Symbol: ZmCLA4 ZmLA1 mmp111
• Gene Name: lazy plant1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The ZmCLA4 gene in the qLA4-1 QTL controls leaf angle in maize.
• Transgenic maize plants with a down-regulated ZmCLA4 RNAi construct and transgenic rice plants over-expressing ZmCLA4 confirmed that the ZmCLA4 gene located in the qLA4 QTL regulated LA.
• ZmCLA4 plays a negative role in the control of maize LA through the alteration of mRNA accumulation, leading to altered shoot gravitropism and cell development.
• ZmCLA4 protein shuttled between the plasma membrane and the nucleus.
