BZIP — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjBZIP (BJUA02G25460S) on Indian mustard chromosome A02 encodes a bZIP transcription factor of the AtbZIP8/43 family, with DNA binding, transcription coactivator activity, and protein homodimerization activity. It localises to the nucleus and the Mediator complex. The gene is associated with trichome papilla formation and branching, response to nitrate, red and far-red light phototransduction, regulation of flower development, jasmonic acid signaling, defence response to fungi, and carbohydrate metabolism. It has been linked to traits including flowering time, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, root oxidative activity, adventitious root formation, hypocotyl morphology, organ identity, and jasmonic acid content. Related genes in other species are linked to root architecture, plant biomass, thermomorphogenesis, iron homeostasis, cuticle permeability, and sulfate assimilation.
