D14 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT3G03990, also known as D14 (DWARF 14) in Arabidopsis thaliana, encodes an AB hydrolase-1 domain-containing protein with hydrolase and protein-binding activities. It is associated with cellular response to strigolactone, strigolactone signaling, receptor breakdown, secondary thickening, regulation of flavonoid anabolism, strigolactone anabolism, brassinosteroid metabolism, response to water, memory, H2O2 biosynthetic process, cuticle anabolism, secondary shoot formation, abscisic acid metabolism, auxin transport, and hypersensitivity. D14 is linked to shoot branching, lateral root density, sepal senescence, epidermal cell length, drought resistance, and plant growth and development. It localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Associations also include cell membrane stability, parasitic weed, nitrogen sensitivity, stomatal closure, heat tolerance, and flowering time. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance.
