Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb067740
• Gene Symbol: ZmLG1
• Gene Name: liguleless1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmLG1 and ZmLG2 could provide genetic clues to optimize leaf angle for dense plantings.
• Allowing the leaf blade to project away from the stem. Two classical genes, ZmLG1, a Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein domain-containing TF, and ZmLG2 (Liguleless2) ZmLG2, a basic leucine zipper TF family member.
• ZmLG1 (Liguleless1), a Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein domain-containing TF, and ZmLG2 (Liguleless2) ZmLG2, a basic leucine zipper TF family member, play key roles in ligular region formation that alters leaf angle.
• In the liguleless1 mutant, ligule and auricle are missing, leaves are upright.
• Based on the function of ZmLG1 in maize, we speculated that OsLG1 impacts the proper formation of ligules and auricles at the blade-sheath boundary in rice.
