Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb095020
• Gene Symbol: ZmHMA3 ZmHMA3a
• Gene Name: heavy metal ATPase3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0

Functional Descriptions:

• The candidate gene ZmHMA3 was identified by fine mapping and encodes a tonoplast-localized heavy metal P-type ATPase transporter.
• An ethyl methane sulfonate mutant analysis and an allelism test confirmed that ZmHMA3 influences maize grain Cd accumulation.
• Natural variations in the P-type ATPase heavy metal transporter gene ZmHMA3 control cadmium accumulation in maize grains.
• ZmHMA3 encodes a tonoplast-localized heavy metal P-type ATPase transporter, ZmHMA3.
• ZmHMA3 was identified as the candidate gene for maize grain Cd accumulation.
