Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb283150
• Gene Symbol: ZmPLD3 ZmPLDα3 pld4
• Gene Name: PHOSPHOLIPASE D3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Loss-of-function mutations of Zea mays PHOSPHOLIPASE D3 (ZmPLD3), one of the members from the phospholipase D subfamily, could trigger maternal HI in maize.
• Loss-of-function alleles of ZmPLD3 cause haploid induction in maize.
• ZmPLD3 was identified through a reverse genetic strategy based on analysis of pollen-specifically expressed phospholipases.
• ZmPLD3 encodes a phospholipase expressed specifically in pollen.
• Knockout of ZmPLD3 triggered maternal HI in maize.
