Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM5G809042
• Gene Symbol: ZmmiR528|miR528a
• Gene Name: microRNA528
• Genome: B73_RefGen_v3
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• MicroRNA528 Affects Lodging Resistance of Maize by Regulating Lignin Biosynthesis under Nitrogen-Luxury Conditions.
• Knockdown of ZmmiR528|miR528a or overexpression of ZmLAC3 significantly increased the lignin content and rind penetrometer resistance of maize stems.
• Transgenic maize plants overexpressing ZmmiR528|miR528a had reduced lignin content and rind penetrometer resistance and were prone to lodging under N-luxury conditions.
• Nitrogen supply affects ion homeostasis by modifying root Casparian strip formation through the miR528-LAC3 module in maize.
• ZmmiR528|miR528a affects CS formation in maize by regulating the expression of ZmLAC3, and modification of CS formation has the potential to improve maize quality.
• These results indicate that, by regulating the expression of ZmLAC3 and ZmLAC5, ZmmiR528|miR528a affects maize lodging resistance under N-luxury conditions.
