FLP — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DcFLP (DCAR_027399) on carrot chromosome 8 encodes a MYB-family transcription factor that binds RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory regions and sequence-specific DNA, localizing to the nucleus. This gene is associated with stomatal complex formation, guard cell differentiation, guard mother cell division, and regulation of stomatal complex patterning, as well as leaf pavement cell development, plant epidermis development, and system development. It is linked to lateral root development, primary root development, response to gravity, and root gravitropism, along with multicellular organismal water homeostasis, salt tolerance, and regeneration. Associations also include regulation of cell wall organization, cell cycle G1/S phase transition, DNA re-duplication, phenylpropanoid and shikimate metabolism, and floral organ senescence. Related genes in other species are linked to stomatal development, megasporogenesis, and low-temperature tolerance.
