Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb272750
• Gene Symbol: ZmLTP2.5 plt16
• Gene Name: phospholipid transfer protein16
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) play essential roles in various biological processes, including anther and pollen development, vegetative organ development, seed development and germination, and stress response, but the research progress varies greatly among Arabidopsis, rice and maize.
• ZmLTP2.5 with high expression at stages S7–S9 in B73, Oh43, and Zheng58 anthers, but undetectable expression in W23 anther.
• These findings indicate that these LTP genes may be required for maize anther development and male fertility, which need to be proved in the future.
