Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • We demonstrate that ZMM16/STS1, as well as its paralogs ZMM18 and ZMM29, form obligate heterodimers with the maize AP3/DEF ortholog SILKY1 and that ZMM16/sts1 and silky1 (si1) are involved in positive regulation of all four of the maize B class genes.
  • Previous analysis of maize B class function showed that SI1 and ZMM16/STS1 interact as obligate heterodimers.
  • It is surprising that mutation of sts1 alone is sufficient to produce a strong loss of B function phenotype and suggests that Zmm18 and Zmm29 are not fully functionally redundant with ZMM16/sts1.
  • ZMM16 strongly expressed in developing male and female inflorescences but wealky expressed indeveloping kernels.
  • ZMM16 mutants have a sterile tassel silky ear phenotype.
