ATM4 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_019112 (DcATM4) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a Myb DNA-binding domain and is annotated with sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and protein dimerization activity. It is associated with regulation of flavonoid and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, glucosinolate biosynthetic process, raffinose metabolic process, root color, root hair localisation, trichome morphogenesis and spacing, drought recovery, cellular detoxification of cadmium ion, and cellular response to sulfur starvation. Associations also include shoot elongation under submergence, seed protein content, phosphorus uptake, iron concentration, brassinosteroid content, and regulation of defense response to insect. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cuticle development, suberin biosynthesis, glucosinolate accumulation, trichome differentiation, and drought stress tolerance.
