VP1 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUA09G27160S (VP1, BjLEC2) on Indian mustard chromosome A09 encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with DNA-binding and zinc-binding activity. It is associated with seed development traits including seed width, length, weight, and size. The gene is associated with embryo development ending in seed dormancy, positive regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, seed oilbody biogenesis, photoperiodism and flowering, flower development, ABA signaling, and response to abscisic acid. It localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to somatic embryogenesis, seed maturation, triacylglycerol accumulation in leaves, fatty acid accumulation, and seed oil accumulation.
