MYC2 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G048690 (MYC2) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription regulator with DNA-binding and protein dimerization activity. The gene is associated with the regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, defense responses, systemic acquired resistance, induced systemic resistance, flavonoid anabolism, protein breakdown, secretion, signal transduction, and primary metabolic processes. Its product localizes to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the regulation of stress and developmental pathways.
