THE SUMO LIGASE MMS21 PROFOUNDLY INFLUENCES MAIZE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ITS IMPACT ON GENOME ACTIVITY AND STABILITY

The SUMO ligase MMS21 profoundly influences maize development through its impact on genome activity and stability

The post-translational addition of SUMO plays essential roles in numerous eukaryotic processes including cell division, transcription, chromatin organization, DNA repair, and stress defense through its selective conjugation to numerous targets.One prominent plant SUMO ligase is METHYL METHANESULFONATE-SENSITIVE (MMS)-21/HIGH-PLOIDY (HPY)-2/NON-SMC-
