ERN1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G032610 (ERN1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 8 encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing protein with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activities. This nuclear protein is associated with nodulation, nitrogen fixation, organogenesis, and post-embryonic root development, as well as ethylene and cytokinin signaling, stress responses including heat, salinity, and thirst, innate immunity, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. It is also linked to ethylene sensitivity.
