Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb246780
• Gene Symbol: ZmCOL3
• Gene Name: C2C2-CO-like-transcription factor 3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The absence of one cytosine in the ZmCOL3 3’UTR and the presence of a 551 bp fragment in the promoter region are likely the causal polymorphisms contributing to the maize adaptation from tropical to temperate regions.
• ZmCOL3, a CCT gene represses flowering in maize by interfering with the circadian clock and activating expression of ZmCCT.
• A CCT gene named ZmCOL3 was shown to be a repressor of flowering.
• Overexpressing ZmCOL3 delayed flowering time by approximately 4 d, in either long-day or short-day conditions.
• ZmCOL3 acts as an inhibitor of flowering either by transactivating transcription of ZmCCT, one of the key genes regulating maize flowering, or by interfering with the circadian clock.
• ZmCOL3 functions as a repressor of flowering.
