Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb433980
• Gene Symbol: ZmKEA2 kea2
• Gene Name: K+ efflux antiporter 2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Yeast complementation experiments and maize mutant analysis validated the salt tolerance functions of ZmNHX5 and ZmKEA2.
• Analysis of the maize mutants further validated the salt tolerance functions of ZmNHX5 and ZmKEA2. Our study highlights comprehensive information of ZmCPAs and provides new gene targets for salt tolerance maize breeding.
• ZmKEA2 mutant is salt sensitive.
