Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb144610
• Gene Symbol: ZmRSA3.2 IDP8267
• Gene Name: ZmROOT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE 3.2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Here we performed root phenotyping of 14,301 field-grown plants from an association mapping panel to study the genetic architecture of maize RSA.
• ZmRSA3.1 and ZmRSA3.2, contribute to the regulation of root angle and depth in maize.
• ZmRSA3.2 is regulated by the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 38 (ZmARF38) and is likely involved in the transport of auxin in root tips by mediating the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton.
• In maize, the gene ZmRSA3.2 is a homologue of the arabidopsis formin homology protein, which regulates AF and microtubule dynamics.
• Overexpression of ZmRSA3.2 enhances the response to gravity.
