Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb093650
• Gene Symbol: ZmNAC126
• Gene Name: NAC-transcription factor 126
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmNAC126 thus acts in starch synthesis by transcriptionally regulating targeted starch synthesis-related genes in maize kernels.
• ZmNAC126 was highly expressed in maize endosperm and co-expressed with maize starch synthesis genes.
• ZmNAC126 is a key factor in transcriptional regulation of maize starch synthesis-related genes.
• ZmNAC126 is a typical transcription factor with a transactivation domain between positions 201 and 227 of the amino acid sequence, is located in the nucleus, and binds to CACG repeats in vitro.
• Transient overexpression of ZmNAC126 in maize endosperm increased the activities of promoters pZmSh2, pZmBt2, pZmGBSSI, pZmSSIIIa, and pZmBT1 but inhibited the activities of pZmISA1 and pZmISA2.
