| Alias | ZmGα | | Organism | Maize (Zea mays) | | Taxonomic identifier | [NCBI] | | Function category | Signal transduction | | Effect for Senescence | promote | | Gene Description | maize COMPACT PLANT2 (CT2) encodes the predicted α-subunit (Gα) of a heterotrimeric GTP binding protein. Maize ct2 phenotypes resemble Arabidopsis thaliana clavata mutants, and genetic, biochemical and functional assays indicate that CT2/Gα transmits a stem-cell-restrictive signal from a CLAVATA LRR receptor, suggesting a new function for Gα signalling in plants. | | Evidence | Genetic evidence [Ref 1] | | References | 1: Urano D, Colaneri A, Jones AM.Gα modulates salt-induced cellular senescence and cell division in rice and maize.J Exp Bot. 2014 Dec;65(22):6553-61. doi: 10.1093/jxb/eru372.
