GNC — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjGNC (BJUA10G12370S) on chromosome A10 of Indian mustard encodes a GATA transcription factor of the GAT21-like family, containing ZnF_GATA and ZnF_NHR/GATA domains. It binds sequence-specific DNA and transcription cis-regulatory regions, and is localized to the nucleus. This gene is associated with the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis, chloroplast elongation, carbohydrate utilization, and plant organ senescence. It has been connected to responses to nitrogen compounds, cytokinin, and absence of light, as well as glucose-mediated signaling. Associations with flowering time, plant height, root morphology, germination rate, and meristem identity have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast development, leaf senescence, starch synthesis, and flowering transition.
