Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb147220
• Gene Symbol: ZmLG2 ZmbZIP11 ZmTGA9-2 lg2
• Gene Name: liguleless2
• 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.
• The liguleless2 gene of maize functions during the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive shoot apex.
• In the liguleless1 mutant, ligule and auricle are missing, leaves are upright.
