Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb175840
• Gene Symbol: ZmNTL2
• Gene Name: NAC TF with transmembrane motif 1-Like 2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Knocking out ZmNTL2 has no effect on maize organ size.
• The gain-of-function mutation of NAC TF gene ZmNTL2 is responsible for the mutant phenotype.
• A 4-bp deletion in membrane-bound NAC TF ZmNTL2 gives rise to the Tip4 phenotype.
• ZmNTL2 acts as a transcriptional activator, and the 4-bp deletion has no obvious effect on this characteristic.
• Loss of the transmembrane domain of ZmNTL2 severely hinders maize organ size development.
