Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb067980
• Gene Symbol: ZmEREB24 ereb24
• Gene Name: AP2-EREBP-transcription factor 24
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The mechanism of ZmEREB24 enhancing drought-tolerance is to regulate the expression of four target genes (ZmSUS4, ZmSASA3, ZmBT2 and ZmPDH6).
• Compared to the wild type, the overexpression of ZmEREB24 in maize significantly promotes drought tolerance of transgenic plants at the seedling stage.
• CRISPR/Cas9-based ZmEREB24-knockout mutants showed a drought-sensitive phenotype. RNA-seq analysis and EMSA assay revealed AATGG.CT and GTG.T.GCC motifs as the main binding sites of ZmEREB24 to the promoters of downstream target genes.
• ZmEREB24 have a role in regulating drought adaptation.
