Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb256260
• Gene Symbol: ZmNR2
• Gene Name: nitrate reductase2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Comparison of the RPR of the ZmNR2 EMS mutant and the wild-type plant under high- and low-nitrogen conditions verified the GRMZM5G878558 function.
• The ZmNR2 mutant showed significantly lower RPR and SD and higher EH than the wild-type control under both conditions
• The identified candidate gene ZmNR2 and variants may be useful for the genetic improvement of maize lodging resistance.
