Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb030570
• Gene Symbol: ZmXLG1 xlg1
• Gene Name: extra-large guanine nucleotide-binding protein1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• XLGs play roles in maize and rice growth, development, and stress responses. XLGs regulate agronomic traits such as plant height, tiller and panicle number, heading time, and grain size/shape, and affect tolerance of both abiotic and biotic stresses; combined knockout of three XLGs can lead to seedling lethality.
• XLGs have both redundant and specific roles in the control of agronomically relevant plant architecture and resistance to both abiotic and biotic stresses.
• ZmXLG1 mutant knockout has reduced plant height; triple mutants are lethal at the seedling stage.
