BZIP12 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G094390, also known as BZIP12, encodes a bZIP transcription factor on chromosome 4 of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula). The product contains a bZIP domain and is annotated with sequence-specific DNA binding and DNA binding transcription factor activity. It is localized to the nucleus. This gene is associated with nitrogen fixation and nodulation, linking it to symbiotic processes. It has also been connected to abscisic acid signaling, osmotic response, activation of salinity response, and upregulation of response to thirst, as well as protein breakdown and DNA-dependent transcription. Additionally, BZIP12 is associated with drought tolerance.
