ERN2 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_6G029180 (ERN2, also known as MtRAP2.11 or RAP2.11) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 6 encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing protein that localises to the nucleus and has sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, and DNA binding transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with nodulation, ethene mediated signalling pathway, response to ethylene, response to stress, response to heat, defense response, salinity response, cellular response to K+ ion, post-embryonic root development, organogenesis, regulation of secondary shoot formation, floral meristem determinacy, and both up- and down-regulation of transcription. ERN2 is linked to ethylene sensitivity and potassium transport. Studies of related genes in other species link the AP2/ERF family to potassium uptake and nitrate transport.
