Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb404750
• Gene Symbol: ZmD53 D53
• Gene Name: dwarf ortholog53
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• All three of these, D53, D14, and D3, are named for the DWARF vegetative phenotype that results from a deficiency in SL signaling.
• The way D53 exerts this control is by aiding sequestration of transcription factors into inactive complexes.
• D53 mutants would lack elongated glumes and cupules, as well as suppress the ear phenotypes of ccd8 mutants by releasing TGA1 from its complexed form.
• D53 gain-of-function mutant exhibited a highly pleiotropic phenotype, including excess tillering and reduced tassel branching
• D53 interacts with strigolactone receptors.
