ZIM — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjZIM (BJUA01G30860S) on Indian mustard chromosome A01 encodes a protein with sequence-specific DNA-binding and transcription cis-regulatory region-binding activities, containing TIFY-like, Znf_GATA, and CCT domains. It is associated with circadian rhythm, jasmonic acid signaling, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription, and localizes to the nucleus. The gene is linked to identical protein binding and zinc binding functions. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including flower color, petiole length, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, and jasmonic acid content, as well as phenotypes such as hypocotyl and petiole elongation and inflorescence development.
