Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb051220
• Gene Symbol: RTH1 ZmRTH1
• Gene Name: roothairless 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The roothairless1 (RTH1) mutant is impaired in root hair elongation and exhibits other growth abnormalities.
• The cloning of the RTH1 gene associates the homologs of exocyst subunits to an exocytotic process in plant development and supports the hypothesis that exocyst-like proteins are involved in plant exocytosis.
• RTH1 gene, which is instrumental in the exocytotic tip growth of root hairs.
• The preferential accumulation in the RTH1 mutant proteome of a negative regulator of the cell cycle (a prohibitin) may at least partially explain the delayed development and flowering of the RTH1 mutant.
