TIC — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT7G167400 (TIC, PsTIC) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein with phosphorelay response regulator activity, DNA-binding transcription factor 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 photosynthesis and defense response to insects, starch metabolism, response to desiccation and low humidity, and temperature compensation of the circadian clock. It has been linked to traits including shoot elongation under submergence, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, seed protein content, starch grain synthesis, leaf area, branch angle, fruit set, spot blotch, and phosphorus response. Related genes in other species link the family to circadian clock function, flowering time, starch content, chlorophyll content, biomass vigor, and abiotic stress tolerance.
