TIC — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsTIC (PSAT5G269680) encodes a protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, phosphorelay response regulator activity, and transcription coactivator activity, and is localized to the nucleus and cytosol. The gene is associated with the downregulation of photosynthesis and circadian rhythm, regulation of defense response to insects, response to desiccation and low humidity, starch metabolism, and protein secretion and import. It has been linked to numerous traits including shoot elongation under submergence, ovary and pistil development, fruit set, branch angle, leaf area, vegetative vigor, seed protein content, starch mobilization, photoperiod sensitivity, gibberellin biosynthesis, and responses to phosphorus, aphids, light, and temperature stress. Related genes in other species are linked to circadian clock function, flowering time, starch and chlorophyll content, biomass vigor, and abiotic stress tolerance.
