L1L — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_006317 (DcL1L) on carrot chromosome 2 encodes a protein of the NF-YB/HAP3 family with a histone-fold domain, possessing DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II. It is associated with the CCAAT-binding factor complex and localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, plastid, and cytosol. The gene is associated with positive regulation of fatty acid anabolism, photomorphogenesis, and seed germination, as well as downregulation of long-day flowering. Traits connected to DcL1L include seed protein and starch content, root and shoot apical meristem development, flowering time, leaf chlorosis, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to embryo development, seed oil accumulation, desiccation tolerance, somatic embryogenesis, and fatty acid composition.
