RAD1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G104020 (RAD1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4 encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, hyphopodium formation, and cutin anabolism, as well as responses to symbiotic fungi, phosphate starvation, and nutrient levels. RAD1 is linked to the regulation of seed dormancy, seed germination, and gibberellic acid signaling, along with root development and abscisic acid response. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
