ARF11 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G19220, also known as ARF11 or ARF19, encodes a protein containing B3 DNA-binding and AUX/IAA domains, and is annotated as a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. In Arabidopsis thaliana, this gene is associated with auxin signalling, seed development, and reproductive structure development, and has been linked to numerous traits including adventitious and lateral root number, root branching, leaf colour and curling, petiole length, phyllotaxy, phototropism, shoot elongation rate, and plant male sterility. It is also connected to processes such as tracheary element differentiation, wound healing, and positive regulation of the auxin-mediated signalling pathway. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to fruit set, leaf curvature, and virus resistance.
