FAMA — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_014197, designated DcFAMA and also known as BHLH071, BHLH094 and BHLH096, encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor on carrot chromosome 4. The product contains a bHLH domain, localises to the nucleus, and exhibits RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor activity and protein dimerization activity. DcFAMA is associated with abscisic acid (ABA) signalling, regulation of DNA-templated transcription, and responses to abiotic stimuli including gravitropism. It has been linked to seed germination rate and root length. Studies of related genes in other species connect the FAMA/SPEECHLESS/MUTE clade to drought tolerance and climate-related phenotypes, though these associations are not yet established in carrot.
