Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb056600
• Gene Symbol: ZmSTL1 stl1
• Gene Name: Salt-Tolerant Locus 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmSTL1 encodes a dirigent protein (termed ZmESBL) localized to the Casparian strip (CS) domain. Mutants lacking ZmESBL display impaired lignin deposition at endodermal CS domain which leads to a defective CS barrier.
• ZmSTL1 encodes a dirigent family protein designated as ZmESBL, which likely regulates the formation of endodermal Casparian strip (CS) by mediating the lignin deposition at the endodermal CS domain.
• ZmSTL1 underlies the salt hypersensitivity of CIMBL45.
