Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb209170
• Gene Symbol: ZmWEE1
• Gene Name: WEE1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmWEE1 and ZmPP2Ac-2 regulate phosphorylation status and subcellular localization of ZmTE1.
• ZmWEE1 kinase phosphorylates ZmTE1, thus confining it to the nucleus and probably reducing cell division.
• ZmWEE1 and ZmPP2Ac-2 might balance ZmTE1 activity, controlling cell division and elongation to maintain normal maize growth.
• ZmPP2Ac-2 and ZmWEE1 may regulate phosphorylation and subcellular localization of ZmTE1, thus impacting cell division, cell elongation, and plant height.
