AT5G57360 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT5G57360, known as ZTL (ZEITLUPE) in Arabidopsis thaliana on chromosome 5, encodes a protein with PAS, Kelch, and F-box domains, and is associated with photoreceptor activity, FAD binding, and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity. This gene is associated with circadian clock processes, including photoentrainment, temperature compensation, and rhythmic processes, as well as responses to light quality, far-red signaling, and shade avoidance. ZTL is linked to traits such as flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, drought recovery, abscisic acid concentration, leaf area, seedling vigor, and photoperiod sensitivity. It is also associated with strigolactone response, hydrogen peroxide metabolism, and SCF complex assembly. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to shade avoidance, herbivore resistance, and disease susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae.
