Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb054480
• Gene Symbol: D8 ZmGRAS8
• Gene Name: dwarf plant8
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The Zea mays (maize) DELLA gene dwarf plant8 (D8) was isolated and reported to be similar to the ‘green revolution’ gene Reduced height (Rht1d) from wheat.
• Maize contains two genetic loci encoding DELLA proteins, dwarf plant8 (D8) and dwarf plant 9 (d9).
• Maize DELLA Proteins dwarf plant8 and dwarf plant9 as Modulators of Plant Development.
• Several gibberellin-insensitive dominant mutant alleles of D8 and dwarf plant9 (d9) have been genetically and phenotypically characterized.
• This is consistent with D8 and D9 mutants which are known to have reduced anther exertion causing varying degrees of male sterility in maize.
