Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb088410
• Gene Symbol: ZmGLP2-1 ZmGLP2 glp2
• Gene Name: germin-like protein2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The lowest P-sites were found in ZmGLP2-1, ZmGLP4-11, and ZmGLP4-12, while the highest ones were found in ZmGLP10-1. Protein phosphorylation regulates various cellular processes in plants including differentiation, proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis, particularly at threonine, serine, or tyrosine residues.
• ZmGLP1 and ZmGLP2-1 exhibited remorin-related enzymatic activities, a plant-specific membrane-localized protein having a role in plant growth and development, signaling, and various stress responses.
• It also regulates resistance against biotrophic PstDC3000 and necrotrophic S. sclerotiorum via oxidative burst and JA signaling pathway activation in transgenic Arabidopsis. ZmGLP2-1 contains a ricin B-like lectin (RBL) domain, which protects against Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) in wheat87 and other fungal infections.
• The kernel length was as well as the width was reduced in the ZmGLP2 mutants.
• In addition, disruption of ZmGLP2 (a MEG) by CRISPR/Cas9 also resulted in a smaller kernel phenotype, and thus it might provide an example in support of the maternal-offspring co-adaptation theory, like Meg1.
