RRTF1 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT4G34410, also known as RRTF1 or ERF109, encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing transcription factor with DNA binding and transcription coactivator activity. This thale-cress gene on chromosome 4 is associated with nitrogen utilization, root regeneration, glutathione and strigolactone anabolism, hormone metabolism, and photosynthetic electron transport. It localizes to the nucleus and the Mediator complex. RRTF1 is associated with root growth, floral organ size, cellulose content, light response traits, stem senescence, adventitious rootless, root oxidative activity, jasmonic acid sensitivity, insect damage response, auxin content, leaf size, seedling growth and development, organ identity, hypocotyl morphology, root development, leaf senescence, root length, root thickness, flowering time, disease tolerance, plant growth and development, photochemical quenching, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. It is also associated with systemic acquired resistance, seedling root growth, iron homeostasis, hypocotyl bending, photosynthetic efficiency, lateral root formation, basal defense, reactive oxygen species production, defense response, leaf senescence, defense response to high light stress, high light response, infection memory, salt stress tolerance, nitrogen recycling, stress response, pathogen defense, disease susceptibility, root stem cell niche maintenance, shoot development, auxin biosynthesis, seedling growth, resistance to herbivory, light response, insect herbivory resistance, auxin accumulation, and plant growth.
