BJUA08G30820S — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjFHA (BJUA08G30820S) on chromosome A08 of Indian mustard encodes a cryptochrome/photolyase family protein with blue, red, and far-red light photoreceptor activity, histone H3T3 kinase activity, and DNA photolyase activity. It is associated with the regulation of post-embryonic development, circadian clock photoentrainment, mRNA transcription, and responses to hormones, strigolactone, and hydrogen peroxide. The gene has been connected to numerous agronomically relevant traits including biomass yield, photosynthetic ability, phosphorus uptake, leaf angle, flowering time, seed production, and responses to temperature stress, UV light, and viral disease. It is linked to phenotypes such as delayed or early flowering under photoperiodic conditions, reduced seed production, altered hypocotyl growth, and drought stress response. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, mitochondria, and plasma membrane.
