FAMA — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_012876, designated DcFAMA and also known as BHLH071, BHLH094, BHLH096, and BHLH71, is located on carrot chromosome 4. It encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with protein-binding activity. The product localises to the nucleus and is associated with the regulation of DNA-templated transcription and abscisic acid (ABA) signalling. DcFAMA has been linked to germination rate and root length. Studies of related genes in other species, including those in the FAMA/SPEECHLESS/MUTE family, connect this gene family to drought tolerance, though these associations are not yet established in carrot.
