CIP1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C10F15060 (symbol CIP1, also known as AoCIP1, AoCRWN1 or CRWN1) in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 10 encodes a protein with terpene synthase domains and multiple annotated molecular functions including abietadiene synthase, levopimaradiene synthase, copalyl diphosphate synthase, terpene synthase, auxin receptor and auxin-binding activities, as well as actin binding, structural constituent of cytoskeleton, ubiquitin ligase activity and protein tag functions. The gene is associated with diterpenoid anabolism, jasmonic acid/ethylene-dependent systemic resistance, anthocyanin metabolism, positive regulation of flavonoid anabolism, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, stamen development, photoperiodism and flowering, response to insects, and downregulation of defense response. It is linked to numerous traits including male sterility, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, stem senescence, herbicide sensitivity, jasmonic acid sensitivity, insect damage response, leaf growth and development, and chloroplast development.
