An alpha-crystallin gene, ACD31.2 from Arabidopsis is negatively regulated by FPF1 overexpression, floral induction, gibberellins, and long days.
A gene sequence was isolated from a differential display experiment to find transcripts altered in expression by overexpression of FLORAL PROMOTING FACTOR 1 (FPF1) in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene, ACD31.2, encodes an alpha-crystallin domain containing protein with homology to small heat shock proteins. In addition to down-regulation by FPF1 overexpression, the ACD31.2 transcript is also down-regulated by long days, floral induction, and by gibberellin in wild-type plants. Expression is highest in leaves and stems.
