Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb327140
• Gene Symbol: ZmNF-YB16 ca3p4 ZmNF-YB12
• Gene Name: CCAAT-HAP3-transcription factor 34
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Transcription factors ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 regulate plant growth and drought tolerance in maize.
• OE of ZmNF-YA1 or ZmNF-YB16 produces similar effects on abiotic stress tolerance of maize.
• OE of ZmNF-YB16 improves drought tolerance and yield by enhancing photosynthesis and the antioxidant capacity of maize plants.
• In this work, we used yeast two-hybrid screening to identify potential interactors of ZmNF-YB16 and confirmed the interaction between ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16-YC17 and between ZmNF-YA7 and ZmNF-YB16-YC17.
• ZmNF-YB16 interacted with ZmNF-YC17 via its histone fold domain to form a heterodimer in the cytoplasm and then entered the nucleus to form a heterotrimer with ZmNF-YA1 or ZmNF-YA7 under osmotic stress.
• Comparison of ZmNF-YB16- and ZmNF-YA1-regulated genes showed that ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 have similar biological functions in stress responses but varied functions in other biological processes.
