Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb256020
• Gene Symbol: ZmFLS1 fls1
• Gene Name: flavonol synthase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We have recently characterized a UV-B inducible ZmFLS1, corresponding to the first to be described in monocot plants. Interestingly, the new assembly of the B73 maize genome revealed the presence of a second putative FLS gene (ZmFLS2), with very high identity with ZmFLS1.
• we generated pFLS1::FLS1-RFP transgenic plants and analyzed ZmFLS1 expression in different maize tissues; we found that this enzyme is localized in the ER and the perinuclear region.
• The increased expression of ZmFLS genes in the maize landraces from high altitudes could be explained by differences in the activities and/or expression levels of C1+R and P1 regulators in these landraces.
• ZmFLS1 partially complements the flavonol deficiency of the Arabidopsis fls1 mutant.
