Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb424030
• Gene Symbol: ZmPME7 ZmC5 pme1
• Gene Name: pectin methylesterase1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• A maize pectin methylesterase-like gene, ZmC5, specifically expressed in pollen.
• It seems likely that the PME-like gene product from ZmC5 will have a role in pollen tube elongation.
• ZmPME/PMEIs specially expressed in anthers and pollens, indicating they possibly had role in anther and pollen development.
