Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb073830
• Gene Symbol: NKD1 ZmIDD7
• Gene Name: NAKED ENDOSPERM1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• NAKED ENDOSPERM1 (NKD1), NKD2, and OPAQUE2 (O2) are transcription factors important for cell patterning and nutrient storage in maize (Zea mays) endosperm.
• NKD1, NKD2, and O2 dynamically regulate a hierarchical gene network during this period, directing cellular development early and then transitioning to constrain cellular development while promoting the biosynthesis and storage of starch, proteins, and lipids.
• Three key transcription factors, NAKED ENDOSPERM1 (NKD1), NKD2, and OPAQUE2 (O2), play important roles in maize endosperm cellular development and storage material accumulation.
