Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The function of Glossy 8 (ZmGL8), which encodes a 3-ketoacyl reductase belonging to the fatty acid elongase complex, in orchestrating wax production and jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated defenses against herbivores in maize (Zea mays).
  • The mutation of Gl8 enhanced chemical defenses by activating the JA-dependent pathway.
  • Comprehensive transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses indicated that the Gl8 mutant confers chemical resistance to herbivores by remodeling VLCFA-related lipid metabolism and subsequent JA biosynthesis and signaling.
  • Gl8 (Ye478) is a cuticular wax-deficient mutant with strong herbivore-induced chemical defenses
  • Mutation of ZmGL8 activates JA-related pathways.
