Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb093670
• Gene Symbol: ZmSCR1h ZmSCR2 ZmScarecrow2 gras37
• Gene Name: GRAS-transcription factor 37
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• It was recently reported that the duplicated maize SCARECROW (SCR) genes ZmSCR1 and ZmSCR1h redundantly regulate Kranz patterning.
• Zmscr1;ZmSCR1h mutants, the majority of vascular bundles are separated by only one rather than two mesophyll cells, and there are additional patterning perturbations in both leaves and roots.
• These results imply a role for ZmSCR1 and ZmSCR1h (either directly or indirectly) in the establishment and/or maintenance of photosynthetic capacity in the maize leaf.
• In double mutants with scro1, most leaf veins are separated by one rather than two mesophyll cells.
