TIC — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsTIC (PSAT2G052280) on chromosome 2LG1 encodes a protein with DNA binding, transcription coactivator activity, phosphorelay response regulator activity, protein dimerization activity, and kinase binding. The gene is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, downregulation of circadian rhythm, starch metabolism, and response to desiccation and low humidity. It is linked to traits including photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, seed protein content, starch grain synthesis, shoot elongation under submergence, leaf area, vegetative vigor, and spot blotch response. Additional associations include ovary and pistil development, fruit set, branch angle, phosphorus response, hybrid incompatibility, brassinosteroid content, gibberellin biosynthesis and sensitivity, and temperature stress response. The gene localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to circadian rhythm, flowering time, starch content, chlorophyll content, biomass vigor, and abiotic stress tolerance.
