Gene Details:

• Gene ID: BnaA07G0367800ZS
• Suggest Gene Name: EARLY FLOWERING IN SHORT DAYS , SET DOMAIN GROUP 8
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Brassica napus
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF17907    PF00856    PF07496

Functional Descriptions:

• Encodes a protein with histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity required specifically for the trimethylation of H3-K4 in FLC chromatin (and not in H3-K36 dimethylation). Acts as an inhibitor of flowering specifically involved in the autonomous promotion pathway. EFS also regulates the expression of genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.Modification of histone methylation at the CRTISO locus reduces transcript levels 90%. The increased shoot branching seen in some EFS mutants is likely due to the carotenoid biosynthesis defect having an effect on stringolactones.Required for ovule, embryo sac, anther and pollen development.
