ARF — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G007840, the ARF gene on barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) chromosome 5, encodes a small GTPase of the ARF/SAR family with GTPase activity, GTP binding, G protein activity, and phospholipase activator activity. It is associated with auxin signaling, organogenesis, post-embryonic development, nodulation, root development, lateral root development and formation, geotropism, intracellular protein transport, vesicle transport, and protein breakdown. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi complex and cytoplasm. The gene is linked to lateral root length and root length. Related genes in other species connect the family to EC 3.6.5.2.
