Type: | Family | Name: | Frigida-like |
Description: | This family is composed of plant proteins that are similar to FRIGIDA protein expressed by Arabidopsis thaliana(Mouse-ear cress) (). This protein is probably nuclear and is required for the regulation of flowering time in the late-flowering phenotype. It is known to increase RNA levels of flowering locus C. Allelic variation at the FRIGIDA locus is a major determinant of natural variation in flowering time []. | Short Name: | Frigida |
