Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb024330
• Gene Symbol: ZmMYC7 ZmMYC2a bhlh149 ZmMYC2
• Gene Name: myc transcription factor7
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmMYC7 directly regulates ZmERF147 to increase maize resistance to Fusarium graminearum.
• ZmMYC7 functions in maize resistance to F. graminearum and sheds light on maize defense responses to pathogenic fungi via the JA signaling pathway.
• ZmMYC7 is a putative MYC2 ortholog and would share similar functions with OsMYC2 and AtMYC2.
• Double mutant(ZmMYC2a) with bhlh91 (ZmMYC2b) was highly susceptible to insects, and the levels of benzoxazinoids and volatile terpenes, and the levels of their biosynthesis gene transcripts, were much lower.
