ATM4 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C03F6420 (ATM4) on asparagus chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a Myb domain and SANT/Myb domain, and is associated with sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, BHLH transcription factor binding, protein dimerization activity, and other molecular functions. The gene is associated with the regulation of raffinose metabolic process, regulation of glucosinolate biosynthetic process, regulation of proanthocyanidin anabolism, regulation of flavonoid anabolism, pigment accumulation, regulation of trichome morphogenesis, trichome spacing, plant epidermal cell fate specification, regulation of defense response to insect, drought recovery, cellular detoxification of cadmium ion, and cellular response to sulfur starvation. It is linked to traits including shoot elongation under submergence, root epidermal cell length, leaf trichome density, seed protein content, lignin biosynthesis trait, phosphorus uptake, iron concentration, brassinosteroid content, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time trait, and UV-B light sensitivity. The product localises to the nucleus, cytosol, root hair, preprophase band, cell cortex and TGN.
