AGL1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjAGL1 (BJUB06G04840S) on chromosome B06 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a MADS-box transcription factor containing MADS-box and K-box domains, with annotated DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein dimerization activity, and chlorophyll binding. The gene is associated with floral organ identity specification, stamen identity, dehiscence, seed coat development, mucilage extrusion, and responses to high light intensity and UV-A. It localises to the nucleus and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Associations include flower and carpel morphology, silique and fruit dehiscence, seed shattering, seed longevity, plant male sterility, gibberellin biosynthesis, jasmonic acid content, and high temperature stress response. Related genes in other species link the family to seed dispersal, stamen and carpel identity, and floral morphogenesis.
