SARD1 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G73805 (SARD1) encodes a calmodulin-binding transcription factor containing CBP60 and calmodulin-binding domains. It localises to the nucleus and cytoplasm and is associated with sequence-specific DNA binding and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. SARD1 is associated with regulation of salicylic acid biosynthetic process, systemic acquired resistance, activation of defence response to bacteria, defense response to oomycetes, response to nematode, cell-cell signaling, calcium signaling, hypersensitivity, secondary metabolism, negative regulation of leaf senescence, and response to UV-B. It is linked to disease tolerance, drought tolerance, plant height, flowering time, leaf senescence, leaf curling, stem elongation, lateral root length, auxin and jasmonic acid content, nitrate sensitivity, potassium uptake, cell growth and development trait, and sporogenesis. SARD1 is also associated with immunity, pipecolic acid biosynthesis, powdery mildew resistance, and basal resistance.
