Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb118900
• Gene Symbol: ZmG2 g2 bsd1 glk13
• Gene Name: golden plant2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We found that elevated drought tolerance in rice plants overexpressing ZmGLK1 or GOLDEN2 (ZmG2) was conferred by rapid ABA-mediated stomatal closure.
• Four upregulated genes closely functioning in abiotic stress tolerance with strong binding peaks in the DAP-seq data were identified as putative target genes of ZmGLK1 and ZmG2 in rice.
• ZmG2 in rice conferred improved drought tolerance by promoting stomatal closure in response to water deficit while maintaining high stomatal conductance to obtain efficient photosynthesis when sufficient water was available.
• Overexpressing ZmGLK1 or GOLDEN2 (ZmG2) was conferred by rapid ABA-mediated stomatal closure.
• ZmGLK1 and ZmG2 conferred improved drought tolerance in rice.
