Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb157150
• Gene Symbol: ZmMS39
• Gene Name: male sterile39
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• A novel male-sterile maize mutant male sterility 39 (ZmMS39) was obtained from offspring of the commercial hybrid Chuandan No. 9 that had been carried into outer space.
• ZmMS39 is controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 3.
• ZmMS39 encodes a callose synthase essential for male fertility in maize.
• Mutant is male sterile and also exhibits a shorter plant height and tassel length and decreased tassel branch number.
