PAP1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPAP1 (DARMORV10_A07P33350.1) on chromosome A07 of oilseed rape encodes a MYB transcription factor with DNA-binding and protein dimerization activities. This gene is associated with the regulation of flavonoid and proanthocyanidin anabolism, anthocyanin metabolism, pigmentation, and seed growth. It has been linked to traits including flower color, seed coat color, flavonoid content, leaf trichome density, seed longevity, root system morphology, and responses to UV light, far red light, and cadmium. Associations also extend to seed mucilage production, lignin biosynthesis, and plant nutrient responses. Related genes in other species are linked to anthocyanin pigmentation, trichome differentiation, root hair development, and responses to light, salt stress, and phosphate deficiency.
