Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb417610
• Gene Symbol: ZmPIF3.3 bhlh117
• Gene Name: bHLH-transcription factor 117
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We found that only the ZmPIF3.1:GFP, ZmPIF3.2:GFP, ZmPIF3.3:GFP, and ZmPIF4.2:GFP fusion proteins, but not others, formed visible nuclear bodies in Arabidopsis seedlings after a short exposure to high intensity of red light, hinting that other ZmPIFs may have distinct interacting properties with Atphys.
• Confirming a critical role for ZmPIF3.3 in regulating EH and as a selective target.
• Mutations in ZmPIF3.3 led to a significant reduction in plant height, and its favorable (height-reducing) alleles have been subject to substantial enrichment selection during modern maize breeding.
