Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb026490
• Gene Symbol: Lax1 aic1
• Gene Name: like-auxin1;auxin import carrier1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• In the present study the maize like-aux1 (Lax1, GRMZM2G129413) and lax2 (GRMZM2G149481) which encode auxin influx carriers, were down-regulated in rum1. In Arabidopsis, the AUX/LAX gene family members AUX1 and LAX3 act concomitantly in lateral root initiation and emergence.
• Lax1 cDNA encoding a protein with a deduced amino acid showing 73% identity to AtAUX1.
• Lax1 expresses at a much higher level in foliar leaf primordia (high vein density) than in husk leaf primordia.
• The auxin signalling-related genes, like-auxin1 (Lax1).
• Lax1 involved in auxin signal transduction.
