Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb182820
• Gene Symbol: ZmCRY1a2 cry4
• Gene Name: cryptochrome4
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCRY1a has a relatively conservative function in regulating maize photomorphogenesis.
• ZmCRY1a1 and ZmCRY1a2 caused short mesocotyl and first leaf sheath lengths in maize under blue and white light.
• Overexpression of ZmCRY1a1 and ZmCRY1a2 reduced maize plant height and ear height.
• Expression of ZmCRY1a were insensitive to low blue light (LBL)-induced shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) in Arabidopsis and maize.
• ZmCRY1a expression and hormonal influence on the growth and development of maize under LBL-induced SAS.
