MYB — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdMYB (BRADI_2G55797V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 2 encodes a protein with SANT/Myb and homeodomain-like domains, and is annotated with DNA binding transcription factor activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, DNA binding, zinc binding, and protein binding. It is associated with negative regulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis, alcohol and fatty alcohol anabolism, regulation of secondary metabolism, post-embryonic plant organ morphogenesis, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, cellular auxin homeostasis, virus-induced PTGS, MAPK cascade, stomatal closure, response to absence of light, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, anther development, chlorophyll fluorescence, lateral root development, response to sucrose, and response to salt. The gene is linked to leaf dry weight, photosynthetic rate, drought tolerance, and stripe rust. It is associated with stress, biotic stress, drought stress, reproductive development, vascular bundle, tolerance, leaf, root, drought, reproductive, abiotic stress, node, phloem, ABA sensitivity, seed lipid biosynthesis, and salt stress tolerance. Related genes in other species link the MYB family to panicle dry weight, grain iron and zinc content, fungal disease response, and yield-related traits including anthesis-silking interval and test weight.
