SCP — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA06G25640S (BjSCP) encodes a LOB domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription repressor and activator activities, as well as protein homodimerization and binding functions. It localizes to the nucleus and is associated with mitosis, spindle assembly, meiosis, cell cycle regulation, and cell differentiation. The gene is linked to adventitious and lateral root development, gametophyte development, microsporogenesis, hormone-mediated signaling, and regulation of asymmetric cell division. It has been connected to pollen fertility, days to flowering, reactive oxygen species homeostasis, pollen tube growth and integrity, flavonol accumulation, lipid transfer, and microspore asymmetric division. Related genes in other species are associated with pollen development, microspore division, flavonol biosynthesis, heterosis, and arsenic concentration.
