Sorghum bicolor GRAS Family
Description
Tian et al. 2004: Members of the GRAS gene family encode transcriptional regulators that have diverse functions in plant growth and development such as gibberellin signal transduction, root radial patterning, axillary meristem formation, phytochrome A signal transduction, and gametogenesis.
Members of this familySHOULD possess GRAS domain
Benchmark against A. thaliana
The Sensitivity and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) were assessed for this family. The data reported by Bolle 2004 for A. thaliana were taken as gold standard.
The gold standard reported 33 members for this family, 32 of which are present in ArabTFDB, giving a PPV of 0.97. One additional member not present in ArabTFDB might be a false negative, giving a Sensitivity of 0.97.
This family is also present in:
- Physcomitrella patens
- Selaginella moellendorffii
- Oryza sativa subsp. indica
- Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
- Zea mays
- Arabidopsis lyrata
- Arabidopsis thaliana
- Carica papaya
- Populus trichocarpa
- Vitis vinifera
There are 73 gene models in this family
