Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Knockout of ZmTPS9 increased kernel starch content and, in turn, kernel weight in maize.
  • ZmTPS9, involved in trehalose metabolism, affects kernel starch content.
  • The pathway-driven analysis identified ZmTPS9, which encodes a trehalose-6-phosphate synthase in the trehalose pathway, as the causal gene for the QTL qSTA4−2, which was detected by all three statistical analyses.
  • Out of 33 candidate genes, we cloned and characterized ZmTPS9 for qSTA4–2, which encodes a TPS involved in the trehalose metabolism.
  • we inferred that the 283-bp insertion around the TSS of ZmTPS9 might decrease starch content via weakening the TPS enzyme activity of ZmTPS9.
  • These results indicate that ZmTPS9 function affects starch content and, in turn, kernel weight.
