AGL15 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT5G13790 (AGL15) in Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with transcription regulator activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and transcription corepressor activity. It is associated with somatic embryogenesis, embryogenesis, seed desiccation, and flower senescence. The gene is linked to floral whorl development, organ induction, negative regulation of seed maturation, floral organ formation, fruit abscission, and gibberellin catabolism. It has been connected to traits including floral organ length, grain size, plant female sterility, leaf shattering, abscisic acid content, seed longevity, heterosis, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, and temperature stress response. AGL15 localises to the nucleus, cytosol, and nucleolus, and is associated with strigolactone and jasmonic acid signaling pathways. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed lipid biosynthesis and pollen maturation.
