Structure and expression of the maize (Zea maysL.) SUN-domain protein gene family: evidence for the existence of two divergent classes of SUN proteins in plants

Table 1 Maize genes encoding SUN-domain proteins.

^aGene names assigned in this manuscript. Numerical designations (ZmSUN1-5) do not
necessarily imply orthology with similarly named genes in other species.
^bChromosome number and arm (S, short; L, long), genetic bin as designated for the UMC 1998 linkage map [56].
^cGenBank accession numbers for B37 BACs that include the indicated SUN gene.
^dBest corresponding full-length cDNA or gene model from B73 RefGen_v1; ZmSUN4 is from maize line W23, all others from B73.
^eGenBank maize UniGene accession numbers.
