GL1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA10G09360S (GL1) on chromosome A10 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a MYB transcription factor with a Myb_TF_plants domain and SANT/Myb motif, and is annotated for transcription cis-regulatory region binding and DNA binding. The gene is associated with plant epidermis development, system development, cell differentiation, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription, including both upregulation and downregulation. It is linked to positive regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, and green leaf volatile biosynthetic process. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus. GL1 is associated with leaf trichome density and leaf size. Related genes in other species link the family to similar developmental and metabolic processes.
