AP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G461710 (symbol AP1) on barrel medic chromosome 2 encodes a MADS-box protein with sequence-specific DNA-binding activity, localising to the nucleus. The gene is associated with floral meristem determinacy, inflorescence development, flower development, cell differentiation, and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. It has also been linked to inflorescence branching and meristem identity. Related genes in other species link the family to floral organ identity and meristem function.
