Source Description
TAIREncodes SOMNUS (SOM), a nucleus-localized CCCH-type zinc finger protein. SOM negatively regulates light-dependent seed germination downstream of PIL5 (AT2G20180).
UniProtProbable transcription repressor that functions as negative regulator of phytochrome-mediated promotion of seed germination. Inhibits seed germination by regulating the expression of gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) metabolic genes. Does not regulate the expression of the DELLA genes RGA and RGA1. Activated by PIL5, a phytochrome-interacting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18487351}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. ABI3 and PIL5 collaboratively activate the expression of SOM mRNA by directly binding to and interacting with each other at the SOM promoter.
    [PMID: 21467583]
  2. AtTZF4, 5 and 6 affect seed germination by controlling genes critical for abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) response.
    [PMID: 23421766]
  3. ABI3, ABI5, and DELLAs mediate high-temperature signaling to activate the expression of SOM and other high-temperature-inducible genes, thereby inhibiting seed germination.
    [PMID: 24326588]
  4. SOM is reported to negatively regulate seeds germination by altering GA/ABA metabolism, here we found that AFP2 and ABI5 altered SOM transcription. Data demonstrate that AFP2 is a novel regulator to control high temperature-induced secondary seed dormancy through ABI5 and SOM.
