PSAT2G087800 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G087800 (AP1, also known as PsAP1, PsCAL1, or AGL7) in garden pea encodes an agamous-like MADS-box protein with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor activity, transcriptional co-regulator activity, chromatin binding, and protein heterodimerization activity. This gene is associated with floral whorl development, regulation of double fertilization, release of seed from dormancy, and detection of cytokinin stimulus. It is linked to fruit yield, legume fruit shattering, pod shatter, seed color, seed coat morphology, flower morphology, inflorescence development, vegetative to reproductive phase transition, leaf margin morphology, and boron and potassium sensitivity. Additional associations include floral meristem identity, fruit development, inflorescence determinacy, carpel valve identity, and secondary growth. Related genes in other species are linked to petal and stamen identity, seed yield, leaf longevity, and temperature-responsive flowering.
