Protein function
Encodes a bHLH transcription factor.
Phenotype
Overexpressor: PIF4 overexpressor is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions.
[Kumar et al., 2012] Single mutant: pif4 single mutant is not or only slightly late flowering under SD conditions at 22C but very late flowering at 27C.
pif4 single mutant does not show any flowering-time phenotype under LD conditions at 22C, but no data available at 27C.
[Koini et al., 2009][Kumar et al., 2012][Thines et al., 2014] Multiple mutant: pif4;
pif5 multiple mutant is late flowering under 12h-light-12h-dark photoperiod at any temperature, even though the phenotype is enhanced at high temperatures. (No data under SD or LD conditions.)
[Thines et al., 2014] Remarks: PIF4 is involved in temperature-dependent flowering induction through its binding to the
FT promoter at high temperatures.
[Kumar et al., 2012][Thines et al., 2014] Function:Transcription factor acting negatively in the phytochrome B signaling pathway. May regulate the expression of a subset of genes involved in cell expansion by binding to the G-box motif.
