Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb397190
• Gene Symbol: ZmMPK4 ZmMPK3-1 mpk1
• Gene Name: MAP kinase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of a multiple stress-responsive gene, ZmMPK4, enhances tolerance to low temperature in transgenic tobacco.
• Overexpressing ZmMPK4 accumulated less reactive oxygen species (ROS), more peroxidase and catalase activities, more proline and soluble sugar contents, and more stress-responsive genes expression, leading to enhancing low temperature stress tolerance compared to the control plants.
• ZmMPK4 positively regulates low temperature stress tolerance in plants.
