ERF1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_015850 (DcERF1) on carrot chromosome 4 encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. The protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with regulation of ethylene-mediated signalling, secondary metabolism, defence responses, fruit ripening, and root development. DcERF1 has been connected to root fresh weight and photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits including fruit length, weight, colour and size, carotenoid and flavonoid content, seed viability and maturation, plant height, heterosis, salt response, and gas-exchange parameters such as net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and water use efficiency.
