Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb260150
• Gene Symbol: ZmFdx5
• Gene Name: ferredoxin5
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmbZIP54 and ZmFdx5 cooperatively regulate Pb tolerance by mediating ZmPRP1 transcription.
• ZmFdx5 acts as a switch that controls the regulation of ZmPRP1 expression by ZmbZIP54 when maize encounters Pb stress. Furthermore, we revealed that variation in the 5′-UTR of ZmbZIP54 affects its expression level under Pb stress and contributes to the difference in Pb tolerance among maize lines.
• We proposed a model to summarize the role of ZmbZIP54 in Pb tolerance, which involves the cooperative effect of ZmbZIP54 and ZmFdx5 on the ZmPRP1 transcription in maize response to Pb. This study provides novel insights into the development of Pb-tolerant maize varieties and bioremediation of Pb-contaminated soils.
