ATC — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G256920 (symbol ATC, also known as TFL1, PsTFL1, CET2) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) chromosome 5LG3 encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP family member) with DNA binding transcription factor activity and protein binding capability. This gene is associated with photoperiodism, vernalization response, regulation of flowering time, inflorescence development, seed germination, cell differentiation, and responses to short-day conditions. It is linked to both upregulation and downregulation of flower development, arginine anabolism, protein breakdown, and abiotic stress responses. Localization evidence links the product to the cytoplasm, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum. The gene is associated with traits including flowering time, photoperiod-sensitive flowering, plant height, spikelet floret size, inflorescence development, meristem identity, protein content, and abiotic stress tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to floral transition, inflorescence meristem identity, and floral induction.
