Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb378140
• Gene Symbol: ZmGBSS1 wx1 Gss1
• Gene Name: granule-bound starch synthase 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmGBSS1’s function for starch metabolism through direct regulation.
• ZmGBSS1 is a granule-bound starch synthase 1 [GBSS1] gene.
• Opaque endosperm of smooth, firm non-corneous starch, consisting almost entirely of amylopectin (stains red with iodine), which replaces amylose (blue staining) in endosperm, and also in the pollen and embryo sac.
