Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaCRY2
• Gene Name: cryptochrome 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Treatment of seedlings with high salt, polyethylene glycol, and abscisic acid (ABA) up-regulated TaCRY2 in roots and germinating embryos.
• Expression of TaCRY1a-green fluorescent protein or TaCRY2-green fluorescent protein in Arabidopsis conferred a shorter hypocotyl phenotype under blue light.
• These observations indicate that TaCRY1 and TaCRY2 might be involved in the ABA signaling pathway in addition to their role in primary blue light signal transduction.
• TaCRY1a and TaCRY2 were involved in osmotic stress/abscisic acid (ABA) responses in addition to their roles in the primary light signal transduction pathway.
