Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb388310
• Gene Symbol: ZmCom1 com1
• Gene Name: completion of meiotic recombination1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The ZmCom1 gene is abundantly expressed in reproductive tissues at meiosis stages.
• In ZmCom1-deficient plants, meiotic chromosomes are constantly entangled as a formation of multivalents and accompanied with chromosome fragmentation at anaphase I.
• ZmCom1 Is Required for Both Mitotic and Meiotic Recombination in Maize.
• ZmCom1 mutant plants exhibited a number of vegetative phenotypes under normal growth condition, which may be partly attributed to mitotic aberrations including chromosomal fragmentation and anaphase bridges.
• ZmCom1 is critically required for the proper SC assembly. Moreover, RAD51 signals were almost completely absent in ZmCom1 meiocytes, implying that COM1 is required for RAD51 loading.
