Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb342040
• Gene Symbol: ZmSWEET2 ZmSWEET14 ZmSWEET15 sweet2
• Gene Name: sugars will eventually be exported transporter2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmSWEET2 was identified as a candidate gene associated with flowering time in this study
• ZmSWEET2 as a promising candidate gene for flowering time regulation.
• ZmSWEET2 is associated with flowering time, and the upstream eQTL is nearby a local XP-CLR peak, in addition to one sQTL in the gene body near another selective sweep signal peak.
• Sugars will eventually be exported 2 (sweet2, Zm00001d009365) was identified as a candidate gene associated with flowering time in this study and exhibited selective sweep signatures with a slightly increased expression heritability in temperate maize
