GLN — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DcGLN (DCAR_018651) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a glutamine synthetase. The gene is associated with the ammonia assimilation cycle, nitrate assimilation, and glutamine biosynthesis. DcGLN has been linked to nitrogen metabolism, remobilization, and homeostasis, as well as to seed yield, germination, and development. It is connected to leaf senescence, flowering time, and responses to abscisic acid, cadmium, and salt stress. The gene product localizes to the chloroplast, thylakoid, and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ammonium tolerance, lateral root development, and circadian rhythm, while wheat studies connect the family to senescence.
