TIC — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsTIC (PSAT6G208200) on chromosome 6LG2 encodes a TIC family protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, phosphorelay response regulator activity, and transcription coactivator activity. It is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis, circadian rhythm regulation, starch metabolism, response to desiccation, and regulation of defense response to insect. The gene is linked to numerous agronomic traits including shoot elongation under submergence, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, seed protein content, starch grain synthesis, leaf area, branch angle, vegetative vigor, and fruit set. It has been connected to phenotypes such as late flowering, altered leaf development, shortened circadian period, and long hypocotyl in red light. Related genes in other species link the family to starch content, chlorophyll content, biomass vigor, and abiotic stress tolerance.
