DB identifier | AT1G77300 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2196000 |
Name | EARLY FLOWERING IN SHORT DAYS | Brief Description | histone-lysine N-methyltransferase |
TAIR Computational Description | histone-lysine N-methyltransferase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | 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 and nitrogen assimilation.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. |
