FAMA — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_004291, designated DcFAMA and also known as BHLH071, BHLH094 and BHLH096, is located on carrot chromosome 1 and encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. The product possesses RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein dimerization activity and protein binding, and localises to the nucleus. DcFAMA is associated with abscisic acid (ABA) signalling and the regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene has been connected to germination rate and root length. Studies of related genes in other species link the FAMA/SPEECHLESS/MUTE family to drought tolerance and climate-related phenotypes, though these associations are not yet established in carrot.
