Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb251160
• Gene Symbol: ZmPP2C55 ZmOrphan312
• Gene Name: serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The transgenic plants exhibited higher RWC, proline content, POD and SOD activities, GSH content and GSH/GSSG ratio and lower MDA content, electrolyte leakage and GSSG content compared with WT plants under natural stress treatment when seedlings were at the three-leaf. Our results illustrated that the overexpression of ZmPP2C55 positively enhanced tolerance to drought stress.
• ZmPP2C55 overexpression transgenic plants were generated. Physiological and phenotypic data illustrated that ZmPP2C55-OE plants exhibited enhanced tolerance to drought stress.
• ZmPP2C55 positively enhanced drought tolerance in transgenic plants.
• Overexpression of ZmPP2C55 positively enhances tolerance to drought stress in transgenic maize plants.
• The overexpression of ZmPP2C55 can significantly strengthen the tolerance to drought stress.
