FLP — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_031036 (DcFLP) encodes a MYB transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding activity, localised to the nucleus and plant-type cell wall. In carrot, DcFLP is associated with stomatal complex formation, guard mother cell division, guard cell differentiation, and regulation of stomatal complex patterning. It is also linked to leaf pavement cell development, plant epidermis development, primary root development, lateral root development, response to gravity, multicellular organismal water homeostasis, regulation of cell wall organization, floral organ senescence, regeneration, and regulation of phenylpropanoid and shikimate metabolism. Phenotypic associations include guard cell identity, stomatal patterning, root gravitropism, lateral root development, ovule development, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to stomatal development, megasporogenesis, and low-temperature tolerance.
