BP — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

AoBP (A4U43_C07F31120) on asparagus chromosome 7 encodes a KNOX1 domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity, and miRNA binding. It is associated with shoot organ boundary specification, somatic stem cell population maintenance, regulation of gibberellin biosynthesis, floral whorl morphogenesis, and negative regulation of auxin signaling. The gene is linked to numerous traits including shoot axis morphology, boron sensitivity, peduncle length, seed yield, leaf morphology, plant size, phyllotaxy, and vegetative to reproductive phase transition. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plastid, plasmodesma, and microtubule cytoskeleton. Related genes in other species are linked to internode elongation, pedicel development, leaf morphology, and meristem maintenance.
