PTI5 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G088005, designated PTI5, encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing transcription factor located in the nucleus. It is associated with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and is linked to hormone anabolism, particularly cytokinin anabolism, as well as abscission, organ growth, regeneration, organogenesis, nitrogen fixation, cell growth, morphogenesis, embryogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, fruit ripening, photomorphogenesis, and regulation of defense response. The gene is also connected to ethylene-mediated signaling and cytokinin signaling. Traits linked to PTI5 include seed longevity and seed maturation.
