Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb197040
• Gene Symbol: ZmTGA9-1 bzip79
• Gene Name: bZIP-transcription factor 79
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Such as AtTGA9 to ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3, AtLBD10 to ZmLBD10/ZmLBD27, and OsGAMYB to ZmMYB33-1/-2. In these cases, we found only maize multiple-gene mutants displayed complete male sterility, but not their single- or double-gene mutants.
• ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3 triple-gene mutants and ZmMYB33-1/-2 double-gene mutants displayed complete male sterility, but their double- or single-gene mutants showed male fertility.
• Both single and double mutants of three ZmTGA9 paralogs displayed male fertility, whereas triple-gene mutants of ZmTGA9-1/2/3 exhibited male sterility.
• ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3 resulted in male sterility with different kinds of anther and pollen defects.
