Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb386990
• Gene Symbol: ZmTIP1 tipd1 ZmPAT34
• Gene Name: tip growth defective1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Genetic variation in ZmTIP1 contributes to root hair elongation and drought tolerance in maize.
• Here, we report on comprehensive genetic and functional analysis, indicating that ZmTIP1, which encodes a functional S-acyltransferase, plays a positive role in regulating the length of root hairs and the level of drought tolerance in maize.
• We show that enhancing ZmTIP1 expression in transgenic Arabidopsis and maize increased root hair length, as well as plant tolerance to water deficit.
• A calcium-dependent protein kinase, ZmCPK9, was identified as a substrate protein of ZmTIP1, and ZmTIP1-mediated palmitoylation of two cysteine residues facilitated the ZmCPK9 PM association.
• The results of this research enrich our knowledge about ZmTIP1-mediated protein S-acylation modifications in relation to the regulation of root hair elongation and drought tolerance.
