PRS — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C07F3350 (PRS, AoPRS) on asparagus chromosome 7 encodes a WUSCHEL-like homeodomain protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with mediolateral and adaxial/abaxial axis specification, stipule development, regulation of epidermal cell division, plant organ formation, procambium histogenesis, phloem or xylem histogenesis, cold acclimation, flower development, and cell differentiation. It localises to the nucleus. Phenotype associations include leaf blade outgrowth, leaf adaxial-abaxial patterning, leaf margin development, and lateral organ development. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf margin morphology, leaf flattening, leaf blade development, floral organ identity, sepal morphology, fruit growth and development, cell proliferation, and biomass accumulation.
