BS1 — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_3G438070 (MtBS1) encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain-containing protein belonging to the PRE family, with transcription factor activity and protein dimerization functions. The gene is associated with brassinosteroid signaling and response, regulation of seed size and weight, leaf development and size, root development and morphogenesis, cell division, and organ growth. It has been linked to cell motility, polar cell growth, and response to absence of light. The protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to light sensitivity and plant height.
