Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS2A02G176300
• Gene Symbol: TaAFP-A
• Gene Name: antifreeze protein
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• It is well documented that AtAFP is a negative regulator of ABA signaling that regulates embryo germination and seed dormancy.
• The 4 bp insertion in the promoter of TaAFP-Ba decreased transcript abundance and translation level in transgenic rice. This insertion increased sensitivity to ABA and content of endogenous ABA in mature seeds, leading to a higher seed dormancy and pre-harvest sprouting tolerance in transgenic rice.
• A 4 bp InDel in the Promoter of Wheat Gene TaAFP-B Affecting Seed Dormancy Confirmed in Transgenic Rice.
