PSAT3G090680 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsFT (PSAT3G090680) on garden pea chromosome 3LG5 encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family member with mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and protein N-GlcNAc transferase activity. The gene is associated with photoperiodism, vernalization response, floral whorl development, meristem determinacy, and maintenance of floral meristem identity. It has been linked to photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, inflorescence development, shoot axis branching, axillary bud dormancy, fruit set, seed viability, temperature stress response, viral disease response, and plant male sterility. Localization evidence connects PsFT to the plasmodesmata, ER, Golgi, plastid, and mitochondria. Related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, photoperiodic flowering response, floral transition, seed dormancy, and seed yield.
