• Gene Name: wall-associated receptor kinase-like3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The introgression of the ZmWAK02 gene into hybrid lines significantly improves their grain yield in the presence of GLS pressure and does not reduce their grain yield in the absence of GLS.
• ZmWAK02 encoding an RD-WAK protein confers maize resistance against gray leaf spot.
• ZmWAK02 gene into hybrid lines significantly improves their grain yield in the presence of GLS pressure and does not reduce their grain yield in the absence of GLS.
• ZmWAK02, encoding an RD WAK, is responsible for qRglsSB resistant against GLS.
• ZmWAK02 rescues the phenotype of the mutant to resistance against GLS.
• ZmWAK02, conferring large effect of GLS resistance and confirmed its great value in maize breeding.
• ZmROS1ab-dependent demethylation in endosperm at thousands of loci.
• ZmROS1ab is important for the proper expression of genes in endosperm, including imprinted genes.
• ZmROS1a and ZmROS1b, abbreviated as ZmROS1ab encoding DNA demethylases in maize.
• ZmROS1ab regulates endosperm gene expression.
• ZmROS1ab is required for imprinted expression of genes in endosperm.
