Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb247630
• Gene Symbol: ZmPAL3b pal9
• Gene Name: phenylalanine ammonia lyase9
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmPAL3b were significantly reduced in F4. Their expressions were thus decreased to 18, 62, and 71% of the expression values observed in the control line F2. The two first ones (ZmPAL3a and ZmPAL3e) were highly expressed in the F2 line in the below-ear internode at silking stage, while the third one (ZmPAL3b) was weakly expressed.
• Considering all genes involved in monolignol biosynthesis, investigations in F4 and F2 lignifying internodes have especially shown that the expressions of three ZmPAL genes.
• The ZmPAL3 genes are considered as those preferentially involved in the monolignol pathway. Other ZmPAL genes have been shown in the maize genome since the construction of the used macro-array, of which expression is thus not known, including two genes in close positions to the ZmPAL3a and ZmPAL3b genes.
