MYC2 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_7G180700, designated MYC2, encodes an uncharacterized protein with DNA binding transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and protein dimerization activity, localised to the nucleus. In sugar beet, this gene is associated with defense response, induced systemic resistance, systemic acquired resistance, signal transduction, regulation of DNA-templated transcription, trichome morphogenesis, secretion, and protein breakdown. Related genes in other species link the family to similar regulatory roles in stress and development.
