Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Loss of function of MAGL in maize caused slow growth, leaf chlorosis and decreased photosynthetic capacity under chilling conditions.
- Intervention effect Loss of function of MAGL in Arabidopsis caused slow growth, leaf chlorosis and decreased photosynthetic capacity under chilling conditions.
- Mechanism ZmMAGL directly interacts with ZmEULS3, and together they regulate chilling tolerance in maize.
- Mechanism ZmFBIP could enhance ZmMAGL activity by binding to its promoter region in maize.
- Mechanism Multi-omics analysis indicated that ZmMAGL could be involved in fatty acid remodeling under chilling stress, maintaining photosynthesis capacity and regular growth in maize.
