FAMA — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_022244, designated DcFAMA and also known as BHLH071, BHLH094, BHLH096 and BHLH96, is a carrot gene on chromosome 6 that encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. The product contains a bHLH domain, binds RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region DNA, and has transcription factor and protein dimerization activities. It localises to the nucleus and is associated with abscisic acid (ABA) signalling, regulation of DNA-templated transcription, and responses to abiotic stimuli and stresses. DcFAMA has been connected to germination rate and root length. Studies of related genes in other species link the FAMA/SPEECHLESS/MUTE family to drought tolerance and climate-related phenotypes, though these associations are not yet established in carrot.
