SCR — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C09F7750 (AoSCR) encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and protein homodimerization activity. In asparagus, this gene is associated with bundle sheath cell fate specification, radial pattern formation, asymmetric cell division, leaf development, geotropism, response to nutrient, phosphate ion detection, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, response to symbiotic fungi, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, GA-signaling, cell death, maintenance of protein location in the nucleus, and cellular response to phosphate starvation. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to self-incompatibility.
