ATC — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_12G184000V4 (GmATC, also known as GmTFL1) encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family member with DNA-binding transcription factor activity and protein-binding capacity. The gene is associated with the regulation of flowering time, photoperiodism, and the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase. It is linked to flower formation, inflorescence development, vernalization response, and seed germination regulation. GmATC is associated with seed weight, seed size, protein content, linolenic acid content, nitrogen content, plant height, and abiotic stress tolerance. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to floral initiation, inflorescence branching, meristem identity, photosynthetic capacity, and cold acclimation.
