MTR_5G064580 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G064580, designated MtGRF1, encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 5. The product is associated with ion transporter activity and numerous other molecular functions. MtGRF1 has been linked to a wide range of traits including ferulic acid and zinc content, starch grain size, fruit yield, seed coat hardness, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry weight, and abscisic acid concentration. It is also associated with processes such as non-photoreactive DNA repair, fumarate metabolism, response to cobalt ion, and cellular response to electrical stimulus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to fungal disease resistance, virus response, zinc translocation, cadmium tolerance, and xylem development.
