Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb351270
• Gene Symbol: ZmFTSH10 ndl1
• Gene Name: needle1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• These results suggest that maize reproductive development may be more sensitive to the absence of ZmFTSH10 activity than Arabidopsis.
• We pursued 2 complementary approaches to confirm that GRMZM2G038401, hereafter referred to as ZmFTSH10, corresponded to NDL1. First, we used a CRISPR-Cas9–based strategy with a gRNA targeting exon 5 of ZmFTSH10 to create additional mutant alleles.
• Displays severe reproductive defects and strong genetic interactions with known mutants affected in the regulation of the plant hormone auxin
