L1L — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_028373 (DcL1L) on carrot chromosome 8 encodes a DNA-binding transcription activator with RNA polymerase II-specific activity, belonging to the NF-YB/HAP3 transcription factor family and containing a histone-fold domain. The gene is associated with positive regulation of fatty acid anabolism, photomorphogenesis, and regulation of seed germination, as well as regulation of flowering time in response to long-day photoperiods. It has been linked to seed protein and starch content, leaf chlorosis, root morphology, and disease tolerance. The product localizes to the nucleus, CCAAT-binding factor complex, and RNA polymerases II, IV, and V. Related genes in other species are linked to embryo development, seed oil accumulation, desiccation tolerance, and somatic embryogenesis.
