Gene: Sopen01g044020

General Information

Description A member of class I knotted1-like homeobox gene family (together with KNAT1). Similar to the knotted1 (kn1) homeobox gene of maize. KNAT2 acts synergistically with cytokinins and antagonistically with ethylene based on ectopic expression studies in different mutant backgrounds and hormone treatments. In addition, KNAT2 is negatively regulated by AS and YABBY genes. KNAT2 is strongly expressed in the shoot apex of seedlings, while in mature plants the gene is primarily expressed in flowers and inflorescence stems. | KNOTTED-like from Arabidopsis thaliana 2 (KNAT2) | FUNCTIONS IN: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity | INVOLVED IN: response to ethylene stimulus, cytokinin mediated signaling pathway, specification of carpel identity | LOCATED IN: nucleus | EXPRESSED IN: 16 plant structures | EXPRESSED DURING: 6 growth stages | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: KNOX2 , ELK , Homeobox , Homeobox, conserved site , KNOX1 , Homeodomain-like , Homeodomain-related | BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: KNOTTED1-like homeobox gene 6
