M2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_029713 (DcM2) on carrot chromosome 9 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase) domain-containing protein with cis-trans proline isomerase activity, and is also annotated with GTP:GDP antiporter activity, U5 and U2 snRNA binding, L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity, peroxidase activity, salicylic acid binding, histone binding, and chromatin binding. The gene is associated with protein proline isomerization, chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly, alternative mRNA splicing, response to light intensity, response to arsenic, and cellular response to sulfate starvation. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, sucrose content, starch grain synthesis, root mass density, root hair length, meristem identity, chloroplast development, jasmonic acid content, herbicide sensitivity, temperature stress response, and variegated leaf. Additional associations include heat stress tolerance, disease resistance, root hydrotropism, auxin transport, gravitropism, lateral root development, embryo patterning, and membrane trafficking.
