Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb330030
• Gene Symbol: ZmNHX5 nhx5
• Gene Name: Na+/H+ antiporter 5
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Yeast complementation experiments and maize mutant analysis validated the salt tolerance functions of ZmNHX5 and ZmKEA2.
• Analysis of the maize mutants further validated the salt tolerance functions of ZmNHX5 and ZmKEA2. Our study highlights comprehensive information of ZmCPAs and provides new gene targets for salt tolerance maize breeding.
• ZmNHX5 shoot-specific and NaCl-specific expression; mutant is salt sensitive.
