Identification of the ZmATG18 subfamily genes in maize and the role of ZmATG18a in drought stress
26 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Autophagy represents an ancient cytoprotective program that sustains cell viability under metabolic or environmental stresses via targeted recycling of cellular components. However, the contribution of ATG18s in maize is ambiguous. RESULTS: This work aims to identify and characterize the maize ZmATG18 subfamily genes at the whole-genome level and a total of eight ZmATG18 subfamily genes were...
