Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation A total of 36 ZmNUDX gene family members were identified in maize.
- Observation ZmNUDX genes are widely distributed across all 10 maize chromosomes.
- Observation Several ZmNUDX genes show significant collinearity.
- Observation ZmNUDX proteins are predicted to localize mainly to the cytoplasm, plastids, mitochondria and peroxisomes.
- Observation Stress-responsive cis-acting elements are highly enriched in most ZmNUDX promoters.
- Intervention effect Several ZmNUDX genes were significantly induced under stem rot and maize smut stresses.
- Observation ZmNUDX expression patterns differ between resistant and susceptible maize varieties.
- Observation ZmNUDX-28 showed downregulation followed by upregulation.
