Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb344400
• Gene Symbol: ZmGRAS11 scl1
• Gene Name: scarecrow-like1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0

Functional Descriptions:

• Increased kernel size was selected during modern breeding and identify a novel DELLA-like transcriptional regulator, ZmGRAS11, which positively regulates kernel size and kernel weight in maize.
• Opaque2, a core transcription factor for zein protein and starch accumulation, transactivates the expression of ZmGRAS11.
• The Opaque2-ZmGRAS11 module mediates synergistic endosperm enlargement with grain filling.
• ZmGRAS11, transactivated by Opaque2, positively regulates kernel size in maize.
• ZmGRAS11, which positively regulates kernel size and kernel weight in maize.
• ZmGRAS11 positively regulates kernel size and weight.
• The O2-ZmGRAS11 transcriptional regulatory network orchestrates the coordination of endosperm cell expansion and grain filling in maize.
