NPR1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB06G14830S (BjNPR3) encodes a transcriptional co-regulator with salicylic acid binding, calmodulin binding, DNA binding, and hydrolase activity, belonging to the NPR protein family. It is associated with the regulation of systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathways, defense responses to bacteria and herbivores, response to hypoxia, and nuclear import. The gene is linked to numerous agronomic traits including bacterial blight disease resistance, Cercospora leaf spot response, wheat stripe rust and powdery mildew responses, rice leaf sheath blight and narrow brown leaf spot responses, drought sensitivity, water use efficiency, leaf growth and development, root development, leaf senescence, and stomatal closure time. It is also associated with pathogen effector-triggered programmed cell death, systemic acquired resistance, and defense against necrotrophic pathogens.
