CYC — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_010972 (CYC) on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a TCP transcription factor containing a CYC/TB1_R domain and is annotated with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription factor activity. The protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with flower formation, specification of symmetry, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, regulation of shoot development, and secondary shoot formation. It has also been connected to carotenoid anabolism, response to hormone, morphogenesis, and developmental processes. Notably, CYC is linked to root color. Related genes in other species include TB1, FC1, and DICH.
