Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G180568
• Gene Symbol: ZmTCP42 tcptf38
• Gene Name: TCP-transcription factor 38
• Genome: B73_RefGen_v3
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Importantly, genetic variations in ZmTCP32 and ZmTCP42 are significantly associated with drought tolerance at the seedling stage.
• RT-qPCR results suggest that ZmTCP32 and ZmTCP42 RNA levels are both induced by ABA, drought, and polyethylene glycol treatments.
• ZmTCP42 functions as an important TCP TF in maize, which plays a positive role in drought tolerance.
• Ectopic expression of ZmTCP42 in Arabidopsis led to enhanced drought tolerance, validating its function in drought tolerance.
• ZmTCP42 functions as an important positive regulator for drought tolerance.
• Overexpression of ZmTCP42 in Arabidopsis led to a hypersensitivity to ABA in seed germination and enhanced drought tolerance, validating its function in drought tolerance.
