Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001d016244
• Gene Symbol: ZmGa2F
• Gene Name: Ga2 locus female determinant
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-GRAMENE-4.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Cloning of the tightly linked male determinant ZmGa2P and female determinant ZmGa2F that govern pollen-silk compatibility among different maize genotypes.
• Demonstrate the feasibility of Ga2 as a reproductive barrier in commercial breeding programs and stacking Ga2 with Ga1 could strengthen the UCI market potentials.
• Male determinant ZmGa2P and female determinant ZmGa2F that govern pollen-silk compatibility among different maize genotypes.
• ZmGa2P and ZmGa2F revealed that both were predicted to encode putative PMEs that have been reported to play critical roles in regulating pollen tube growth.
• Both ZmGa2F and ZmGa2P encode group I pectin methylase.
• ZmGa2F candidate gene of the male determinant of Ga2.
