Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS5A02G308400
• Gene Symbol: TaRF2b
• Gene Name: bZIP transcription factor 29-like
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The TaRF2b mutants exhibited delayed flowering, whereas transgenic wheat lines overexpressing TaRF2b showed earlier flowering.
• TaRF2b accelerates winter wheat flowering by regulating the expression of TaVRN1.
• The vernalization-induced long non-coding RNA VAS functions with the transcription factor TaRF2b to promote TaVRN1 expression for flowering in hexaploid wheat.
• TaRF2b recognizes the Sp1 motif within the TaVRN1 proximal promoter region, which is gradually exposed along with the disruption of a loop structure at the TaVRN1 locus during vernalization, to activate the transcription of TaVRN1.
