Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb167600
• Gene Symbol: ZmPme3
• Gene Name: silk-expressed PME
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• This gene is a pectin methylesterase (PME), which we designated as ZmPme3, and is present and expressed only in Ga1-s genotypes.
• ZmPme3 is not present in the ga1 genotypes examined, a pectin methylesterase gene cluster is found in ga1 genotypes.
• A Pectin Methylesterase ZmPme3 Is Expressed in Gametophyte factor1-s (Ga1-s) Silks and Maps to that Locus in Maize.
• Consistent with this role,a third allele which lacks the female function of Ga1-s, Ga1-m, has a mutationally inactivated version of ZmPme3.
• ZmPme3 present and expressed only in silks of Ga1-s genotypes; mutationally inactivated version present in Ga1-m.
• ZmPme3 is a candidate gene for ga1.
