Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb327230
• Gene Symbol: ZmNF-YA8 ZmNFYA15 ZmNF-YA4 ZmNF-YA13 ZmNF-YA14
• Gene Name: NUCLEAR FACTOR YA8
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Helping explain these observations, we found that ZmmiR169q repressed the transcript abundance of its target NUCLEAR FACTOR YA8 (ZmNF-YA8), and overexpression of ZmNF-YA8 in maize improved salt tolerance, specifically by transcriptionally activating the expression of the efficient antioxidant enzyme PEROXIDASE1.
• miR169q and NUCLEAR FACTOR YA8 enhance salt tolerance by activating PEROXIDASE1 expression in response to ROS.
• ZmNF-YA8 functions as a positive regulator to increase maize salt tolerance.
• A ZmmiR169q/ZmNF-YA8 module regulates ROS accumulation.
• ZmNF-YA8 specifically binds to two CCAAT boxes present in the promoter of the maize peroxidase 1 gene (ZmPER1), thereby positively regulating ZmPER1 transcription and promoting ZmPER1-catalyzed antioxidative metabolism to scavenge excessive ROS.
• ZmNF-YA8 activates transcription of the maize peroxidase 1 gene ZmPER1.
