Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb296840
• Gene Symbol: ZmRL6 rl1
• Gene Name: radialis homolog1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We discovered that a 1R-MYB gene, ZmRL6, encodes a 96-amino acid protein and is highly drought-inducible. We also found that it is conserved in both barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and Aegilops tauschii.
• We observed that overexpression of ZmRL6 can enhance drought tolerance while knock-out of ZmRL6 by CRISPR-Cas9 results in drought hypersensitivity.
• By combining RNA-seq and DAP-seq results together, we subsequently identified eight novel target genes of ZmRL6 that are involved in maize’s hormone signal transduction, sugar metabolism, lignin synthesis, and redox signaling/oxidative stress.
