Gene Details:

• Gene ID: A4U43_C01F1370
• Suggest Gene Name: APETALA2
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Asparagus officinalis
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF00847

Functional Descriptions:

• Encodes a floral homeotic gene, a member of the AP2/EREBP (ethylene responsive element binding protein) class of transcription factors and is involved in the specification of floral organ identity, establishment of floral meristem identity, suppression of floral meristem indeterminancy, and development of the ovule and seed coat. AP2 also has a role in controlling seed mass. Dominant negative allele I28, revealed a function in meristem maintenance-mutant meristems are smaller than normal siblings. AP2 appears to act on the WUS-CLV pathway in an AG independent manner.
