Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb195650
• Gene Symbol: ZmSCR
• Gene Name: scarecrow1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Zea mays SCARECROW (ZmSCR), the putative maize SCR ortholog, was used as a molecular marker to investigate radial patterning during regeneration of the root tip after either whole or partial excision.
• Expression of the putative maize ortholog Zea mays SCARECROW (ZmSCR) is localized to the endodermal cell layer, suggesting that SCR plays a similar role in conserved pathways involved in regulation of the radial patterning of the diverse RAMs in these two species.
• ZmSCR is utilized in common developmental mechanisms that give rise to all root types in maize.
• ZmSCR regulates the radial organization of the root.
• ZmSCR mRNA expresses in endodermis and quiescent center of root, influencing radial pattern.
