ERN1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G112490 (ERN1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing protein with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activities. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including nitrogen fixation and nodulation, ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, cytokinin signalling, ABA signalling, osmotic response, innate immunity, cuticle and wax anabolism, organogenesis, floral meristem determinacy, and regulation of secondary shoot formation. It is also linked to post-embryonic root development and ethylene sensitivity. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus.
