Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb154530
• Gene Symbol: ZmMEK1 mek1
• Gene Name: MEK homolog1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmMEK1 was induced by PEG, abscisic acid (ABA), and salicylic acid (SA) and was down-regulated by NaCl.
• Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade constitutes a conserved signaling module in eukaryotes. MAPK kinase (MAPKK) plays a crucial role in a MAPK cascade.
• ZmMEK1 mRNA was most abundant in the primary roots and coleoptiles of maize seedlings and moderate amounts of ZmMEK1 mRNA are present in mature stems.
• mek1 transcript levels are most abundant in primary roots and coleoptiles of maize seedlings and exist in lower levels in mature stems and leaves.
