Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB transcription factors independently transactivate the promoter of the maize (Zea mays) β-carotene hydroxylase 2 gene.
  • These results indicate that ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB can act independently as effective stimulators of the ZmBCH2 promoter in maize endosperm and embryo.
  • This revealed that ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB independently transactivate the ZmBCH2 promoter. The mechanism that underpins our data provides an exciting new strategy for the control of target gene expression in engineered plants.
  • Overexpression of ZmPBF and/or ZmGAMYB in transgenic rice plants and the impact on gusA expression and GUS activity in leaves and seeds.
