Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb410030
• Gene Symbol: ZmCslD1
• Gene Name: Cellulose synthase-like D1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• One QTL, qLW10, for multiple agronomic traits that relate to plant organ size reflects allelic variation in ZmCslD1, which encodes a cellulose synthase-like D protein.
• ZmCslD1 was localized to the trans-Golgi and was highly expressed in the rapidly growing regions.
• The loss of ZmCslD1 function decreased cell division, which resulted in smaller organs with fewer cell numbers and, in turn, pleiotropic effects on multiple agronomic traits.
• ZmCslD1 has pleiotropic effects on multiple agronomic traits that alter plant organ size by changing the process of cell division.
• ZmCslD1 played an important role in the cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis.
