Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • An association study using a natural-variation population of maize revealed a significant relationship between the level of α-expansin4 (ZmEXPA4) expression and drought-induced increases in ASI.
  • Furthermore, genetic manipulation of ZmEXPA4 expression using a drought-inducible promoter in developing maize ears reduced the ASI under drought conditions.
  • Manipulating ZmEXPA4 expression ameliorates the drought-induced prolonged anthesis and silking interval in maize.
  • Genetic manipulation of α-expansin4 (ZmEXPA4) expression in developing ears using a drought-inducible promoter alleviated the drought-induced extension of the ASI.
  • Natural variation in ZmEXPA4 is associated with ASI under drought stress.
