AGL1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnAGL1 (AGL1, SHP1) on chromosome A07 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with a K-box domain, possessing DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific regulatory region binding, and protein dimerization activity. It is associated with specification of stamen identity, maintenance of floral organ identity, dehiscence, mucilage extrusion from seed coat, cell fate specification, seed coat development, reproductive structure development, embryogenesis, pectin breakdown, lipid metabolism, auxin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, cellular response to UV-A, cellular response to high light intensity, and response to high light intensity. The gene is linked to carpel shape, microsporocyte development, seed color, flower morphology, floral organ size, sepal morphology, carpel morphology, seed coat color, leaf margin morphology, axillary bud morphology, petal morphology, seed longevity, gibberellin biosynthesis, gynoecium development, plant male sterility, stamen morphology, trichome morphology, flower development, floral organ development, meristem identity, jasmonic acid content, high temperature stress response, leaf composition, and flowering time. It is also associated with silique dehiscence, fruit dehiscence, reproductive development, ovule identity, seed shattering, indehiscent siliques with abnormal valve margin development, stigma development, style development
