AP1C — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_006890 (DcAP1C) on carrot chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a K-box domain and MADS-box-like and MEF2-like_N domains, and is annotated with RNA Polymerase II Transcription Regulatory Region Sequence-specific DNA Binding, Transcription Corepressor Activity, DNA-binding Transcription Factor Activity, RNA Polymerase II-specific, Protein Heterodimerization Activity, Protein Dimerization Activity, and DNA Binding. In carrot, DcAP1C is associated with downregulation of vernalization response, floral whorl structural organization, specification of carpel identity, floral whorl morphogenesis, stamen formation, seed growth, floral organ formation, regulation of developmental process, maintenance of inflorescence meristem identity, upregulation of vernalization response, floral organ senescence, integument development, maintenance of floral meristem identity, meristem determinacy, regulation of meristem development, specification of floral organ identity, downregulation of photomorphogenesis, and regulation of auxin polar transport. It localizes to the nucleolus, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is linked to numerous traits including corolla morphology, flower morphology, sepal morphology, petal number, plastid development, UV light sensitivity, petal morphology, inflorescence development, stamen morphology, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, UV-B light sensitivity, inflorescence morphology, cytokinin sensitivity, shoot apical meristem development, flower development, plant tissue development, light
