EAT — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT5G04275 in Arabidopsis thaliana (chromosome 5) encodes a protein with RNA cap binding and protein binding activities, localised to the nucleus and mitochondria. The gene is associated with miRNA transcription and processing, gene silencing by miRNA, RNA splicing, seed germination, stem cell proliferation, root regeneration, leaf abscission, meristem determinacy, floral organ identity specification, vegetative phase change, and plant organ morphogenesis. It is linked to traits including seed weight, seed dormancy, flowering time, leaf length, leaf shape, leaf curling, fruit type and size, stem elongation, stomatal resistance and closure time, and responses to copper, arsenic, salt, drought, and abscisic acid. Related genes in other species are associated with nitrogen dioxide-induced cell death and ozone-induced cell death.
