Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb119140
• Gene Symbol: ZmKOB1 kob1
• Gene Name: kobito1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmKOB1 shows differential expression of kernel weight per ear, kernel number per row and ear length; and encodes a glycosyltransferase-like protein, which is highly homologous to Arabidopsis ABA INSENSITIVE 8 (ABI8)/ELONGATION EFFECTIVE 1 (ELD1)/KOBITO1 (KOB1)43.
• Knockout ZmKOB1 had reduced kernel weight per ear, kernel number per row and ear length.
• Overexpression ZmKOB1 exhibited increased kernel weight per ear, kernel number per row and ear length.
• Zm00001d039284 shows differential expression of kernel weight per ear, kernel number per row and ear length; and encodes a glycosyltransferase-like protein, which is highly homologous to Arabidopsis ABA INSENSITIVE 8 (ABI8)/ELONGATION EFFECTIVE 1 (ELD1)/KOBITO1 (KOB1)43. We therefore named it Zea mays KOBITO1 (ZmKOB1).
• ZmKOB1 candidate gene for heterosis.
