Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb298990
• Gene Symbol: ZmMM1 glk28
• Gene Name: Mexicana lesion mimic 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The successful isolation of the ZmMM1 resistance gene will help not only in developing broad-spectrum and durable disease resistance but also in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying MDR.
• ZmMM1 acts as a transcription repressor and negatively regulates the transcription of specific target genes, including ZmMM1-target gene 3 (ZmMT3), which functions as a negative regulator of plant immunity and associated cell death.
• The teosinte allele of the ZmMM1 gene has great potential for breeding.
• In summary, the teosinte allele of ZmMM1 is a good resource for improving maize resistance against NLB, GLS, and SCR.
