Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb354390
• Gene Symbol: ZmMRP-1 ZmMYBR1 mrp1
• Gene Name: Myb related protein1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The promoter of ZmMRP-1, a maize transfer cell-specific transcriptional activator, is induced at solute exchange surfaces and responds to transport demands.
• ZmMRP-1 is a maize (Zea mays) endosperm transfer cell-specific transcriptional activator that plays a central role in the regulatory pathways controlling transfer cell differentiation and function.
• The existence of a positive correlation between the activity of the ZmMRP-1 promoter and sink strength was confirmed in the tobacco plants.
• ZmMRP-1 transforms aleurone cells into endosperm transfer cells and required to maintain transfer cell phenotype.
