Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb068900
• Gene Symbol: ZmILI1 ZmbHLH197
• Gene Name: increased leaf inclination1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmILI1 regulates leaf angle by directly affecting liguleless1 expression in maize.
• ZmILI1 is a central regulator of multiple signalling and developmental pathways related to LA formation during maize development.
• ZmILI1 is a basic helix–loop–helix leucine zipper family transcription factor that harbours only the helix–loop–helix domain but lacks the basic region.
• To verify that Zm00001d002121 corresponds to ZmILI1, we generated knockout mutants of Zm00001d002121 using CRISPR/cas9 technology; these mutants showed decreased LA.
• ZmILI1 is a central regulator of multiple signalling and developmental pathways related to LA formation during maize development, acting in both direct and indirect ways to affect the patterns of gene transcription.
