Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb394080
• Gene Symbol: ZmRPN1 rpnu1
• Gene Name: regulator of pollen number1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmRPN1 dysfunction resulted in a substantial increase in pollen number, consequently boosting seed production by increasing female–male planting ratio.
• ZmRPN1 knockout resulted in an increase in pollen number and led to a large increase in the production of hybrid seeds.
• ZmRPN1 is associated with pollen number variation in maize.
• ZmRPN1 confers quantitative variation in pollen number and boosts hybrid seed production in maize.
• Molecular analyses showed that ZmRPN1 interacts with ZmMSP1, which is known as a germline cell number regulator, and facilitates ZmMSP1 localization to the plasma membrane.
