ZIM — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjZIM (BJUB05G51930S) on Indian mustard chromosome B05 encodes a protein containing TIFY, Znf_GATA, and CCT domains. The protein exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and identical protein binding activities, and localizes to the nucleus. BjZIM is associated with circadian rhythm, jasmonic acid signaling, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Studies of related genes in other species link the ZIM family to hypocotyl and petiole elongation, inflorescence and flower development, and traits including flower color, anthocyanin content, jasmonic acid content, and drought tolerance.
