Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb067710
• Gene Symbol: ZmLOX6
• Gene Name: lipoxygenase6
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The overexpressed ZmLOX6 was remobilized from the leaves like other major proteins during grain development.
• ZmLOX6 gene under the control of the mesophyll cell-specific pZmPEPC promoter significantly outyielded their nontransgenic sibs under drought stress imposed at flowering in multi-location, multi-year field trials.
• Hybrids overexpressing ZmLOX6 outperformed control hybrids under managed drought stress.
• Nitrogen supplementation selectively induced a mesophyll lipoxygenase (ZmLOX6), which was targeted to chloroplasts by a novel N-terminal transit peptide of 62 amino acids.
• The overexpressed ZmLOX6 was remobilized from the leaves like other major proteins during grain development.
• Evaluated in the field over locations and years, transgenic hybrids overexpressing ZmLOX6 in the mesophyll cells significantly outyielded nontransgenic sibs under managed drought stress imposed at flowering.
