SOG1 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G25580, designated SOG1 (SUPPRESSOR OF GAMMA RADIATION 1) and also known as ANAC008, encodes a NAC domain-containing transcription factor that localises to the nucleus and exhibits DNA-binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, SOG1 is associated with the DNA damage checkpoint, cell cycle control, replication stress response, and induction of programmed cell death. It is linked to responses to gamma radiation and UV-A, as well as homologous recombination, mismatch repair, and nucleotide excision repair. SOG1 has been connected to seed longevity, aluminum tolerance, cadmium tolerance, salinity tolerance, phosphate deficiency tolerance, and fungal resistance. It is also associated with leaf size, root meristem development, root thickness, root growth, root regeneration, seedling establishment, and overall plant growth and development traits.
