DELLA1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G122240, symbol DELLA1, encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding activity. The DELLA1 protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with the regulation of gibberellic acid signalling, seed dormancy, seed germination, and seed trichome elongation. It has been connected to cell morphogenesis, developmental processes, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and responses to phosphate starvation, symbiotic fungi, gibberellin, and abscisic acid. Studies of related genes in other species link the DELLA family to gibberellin signalling and plant stature.
