Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb248920
• Gene Symbol: ZmLRT
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Fine-mapping and functional analysis determined that the candidate gene for qLRT5-1, ZmLRT, expresses the primary transcript for the microRNA miR166a.
• Positional cloning and characterization reveal the role of a miRNA precursor gene ZmLRT in the regulation of lateral root number and drought tolerance in maize
• ZmLRT was highly expressed in root tips and lateral root primordia, and knockout and overexpression of ZmLRT increased and decreased lateral root number.
• Knockout of ZmLRT enhanced drought tolerance of maize seedlings.
• ZmLRT in the regulation of lateral root number and drought tolerance in maize.
