Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb184870
• Gene Symbol: ZmTOC1 toc1
• Gene Name: timing of cab expression1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The expression of another photoperiod gene ZmTOC1 peaked 12 h after dawn on long days and at 10 h after dawn on short days.
• A detailed study of ZmCCA1 and ZmTOC1 confirmed that they are the key components in the maize circadian clock.
• Two maize circadian clock-associated genes, ZmCCA1 and ZmTOC1, which are homologs of the two clock genes in Arabidopsis (AtCCA1 and AtTOC1).
• ZmTOC1, a core component of the circadian clock, is conserved in maize.
• These results suggest that there might be a common mechanism regulating this clock in diverse plant species, and ZmCCA1 and ZmTOC1 may be part of the core components of the central oscillator in maize.
