TAIR Curator Summary | FOLK is a farnesol kinase that can phosphorylate farnesol using an NTP donor. It can also phosphorylate geraniol, or geranylgeraniol, but it prefers farnesol in experiments performed using yeast membranes. folk loss-of-function mutants show ABA hypersensitivity in a seed germination assay and the mutants also exhibit abnormal flower development, including extra carpel formation, when subjected to water stress. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
