Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb268250
• Gene Symbol: ZmDA1 limtf11
• Gene Name: LIM-transcription factor 11
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The over-expression of ZmDA1 and Zmdar1 promoted kernel development, resulting in a more developed basal endosperm transfer cell layer (BETL) than WT and enhanced expression of starch synthase genes.
• The over-expression of the mutated ZmDA1 or ZmDAR1 genes improves the sugar imports into the sink organ and starch synthesis in maize kernels.
• Expressing the ZmDA1 or Zmdar1 gene improved grain yield in maize by increasing the kernel number and kernel weight.
