TRAESCS6B02G364000 — triticum aestivum

Summary

TaABF1 (TRAESCS6B02G364000) on wheat chromosome 6B encodes a bZIP transcription factor of the BZIP46-like family with DNA-binding transcription activator activity. It is associated with regulation of abscisic acid anabolism, TOR signaling, nitrate assimilation, and chlorophyll breakdown, as well as pre-harvest sprouting, seed color, and endosperm storage protein content. The gene is linked to drought escape, flowering under drought stress, and responses to abiotic stimuli. Associations include tuberous root weight, linoleic and linolenic acid content, iron sensitivity, alkali soil sensitivity, copper sensitivity, and magnesium sensitivity. It is also connected to sprouting tolerance, seed protein content, photoperiod sensitivity, leaf elongation rate, and vegetative vigor. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought, salinity, cold stress, and yield, as well as phosphorus deficiency tolerance and root growth.
