AS1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F3450 (AoAS1) on asparagus chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a MYB domain and is annotated with transcription regulator activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA-binding transcription activator activity, transcription corepressor binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, raffinose alpha-galactosidase activity, raffinose synthase activity, histone H3K27 trimethylase activity, histone deacetylase activity, NAD ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, ssRNA binding, calcium ion binding, protein homodimerization activity, and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with leaf formation, adaxial/abaxial axis specification, proximodistal axis specification, organ boundary specification between lateral organs and the meristem, floral organ senescence, and reproductive process. It is linked to traits including leaf flexibility, leaf margin serrated, leaf margin morphology, leaf vein morphology, raffinose content, flower abscission zone morphology, endosperm morphology, photoperiod sensitivity, brassinosteroid content, auxin content, yield trait, seed viability, and shoot meristem development. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf adaxial-abaxial polarity, KNOX gene expression, and H3K27me3 histone modification.
