Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G099328
• Gene Symbol: ZmDAR1 limtf4
• Gene Name: LIM-transcription factor 4
• Genome: B73_RefGen_v3
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The over-expression of Zmda1 and ZmDAR1 promoted kernel development, resulting in a more developed basal endosperm transfer cell layer (BETL) than WT and enhanced expression of starch synthase genes.
• The over-expression of the mutated ZmDA1 or ZmDAR1 genes improves the sugar imports into the sink organ and starch synthesis in maize kernels.
• Expressing the Zmda1 or ZmDAR1 gene improved grain yield in maize by increasing the kernel number and kernel weight.
• Over-expression of a mutated version of this gene (ZmDAR1; transformed into maize) causes an increase in kernel mass and harvest index
