Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb314060
• Gene Symbol: ZmDRO1 ZmLAZY1 DRO1
• Gene Name: deeper rooting1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• DEEPER ROOTING 1 (DRO1) in Oryza, Arabidopsis, and Prunus has been reported to improve drought avoidance by promoting roots to grow downward and acquire water from deeper soil.
• ZmDRO1 responded more strongly to abscisic acid (ABA)/drought induction in Zea mays ssp.
• ABA-inducible DEEPER ROOTING 1 improves adaptation of maize to water deficiency.
• ABA-inducible ZmDRO1 promoted a larger downward root angle and improved grain yield by more than 40% under water-limited conditions.
• ZmDRO1 likely contributes to the differences in root growth angle and drought avoidance between B73 and mexicana
• Effect of ABA-inducible ZmDRO1 on Arabidopsis root growth.
