Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb103250
• Gene Symbol: ZmTAC1
• Gene Name: tiller angle control1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Real-time PCR analysis revealed ZmTAC1 expression was the highest in the leaf-sheath pulvinus, less in the leaf and shoot apical meristem, and the lowest in the root.
• ZmTAC1 had been extensively utilized in breeding with regard to the improvement of the maize plant architecture.
• ZmTAC1 expression might contribute to leaf angle polymorphism.
• ZmTAC1 might play an important role in the leaf regulatory pathway.
• ZmTAC1 is involved in the mRNA level and leaf development in maize.
