Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS7D02G176700
• Gene Symbol: TaVRT-2
• Gene Name: MADS-box transcription factor 55
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• These results support the hypothesis that TaVRT-2 is a putative repressor of the floral transition in wheat.
• TaVRT-2, a Member of the StMADS-11 Clade of Flowering Repressors, Is Regulated by Vernalization and Photoperiod in Wheat.
• Expression profiling of TaVRT-2 in near-isogenic lines and different genotypes with natural variation in their response to vernalization and photoperiod showed a strong relationship with floral transition.
• Protein-protein interaction studies revealed that TaVRT-2 interacts with proteins encoded by two important vernalization genes (TaVRT-1/VRN-1 and VRN-2) in wheat.
• These results support the hypothesis that TaVRT-2 is a putative repressor of the floral transition in wheat.
