Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb325630
• Gene Symbol: Vrs1-like1(vrl1) hb13
• Gene Name: Homeobox-transcription factor 13
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• In maize, gt1; vrs1-like1 (vrl1) mutants have derepressed growth of floral organs. In addition, gt1; vrl1 mutants bore more ears and more branches, indicating broad roles in growth repression.
• Thus, GT1 and VRS1 maintain their potency as growth regulators across vast timescales and in distinct developmental contexts. This work highlights the power of evolution to inform gene editing in crop improvement.
• hb13 mutants have derepressed growth of floral organs; bore more ears and more branches, indicating broad roles in growth repression.
