MADS27 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G009890, also known as MADS27, encodes a protein with MADS-box and K-box domains and MEF2-like_N domain, with RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA-binding transcription factor activity (RNA polymerase II-specific), protein dimerization activity, and DNA binding transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with carpel development, callus formation, reproductive structure development, floral organ development, embryogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, seed development, post-embryonic development, nodulation, flower development, cell differentiation, and DNA-dependent transcription. It is also associated with floral organ identity, organ identity, and plant height, and localizes to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the MADS27 family to traits such as days to maturity, seed weight, chlorophyll content, and root length.
