Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb058460
• Gene Symbol: ZmGLK44
• Gene Name: G2-like-transcription factor 44
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Comprehensive genetic and molecular studies reveal the roles and mechanisms of two hub genes,ZmBx12 and ZmGLK44, in regulating maize metabolite biosynthesis and drought tolerance.
• ZmBx12 and ZmGLK44, for their role in regulating benzoxazinoids and tryptophan biosynthesis as well as maize drought tolerance via comprehensive genetic and molecular methods.
• We further verified two hub candidate genes,ZmBx12 and ZmGLK44, for their role in regulating benzoxazinoids and tryptophan biosynthesis as well as maize drought tolerance via comprehensive genetic and molecular methods. Our results provide novel insights into the genetic bases of metabolome-mediated drought adaptation in a crop.
• Based on our data sets, ZmGLK44 is a hub gene correlated / associated with 30 drought-responsive metabolites. Eight of these are annotated amino acids. To elucidate the roles of ZmGLK44 in regulating the biosynthesis of these drought-responsive metabolites, we generated ZmGLK44 inducible overexpression transgene maize lines.
