LEC2 — Brassica napus
Summary
BnLEC2 (DARMORV10_A09P37780.1) on chromosome A09 of oilseed rape encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with zinc-binding activity that localises to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. This gene is associated with positive regulation of auxin biosynthesis, seed oilbody biogenesis, embryogenesis, fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, pollen and fruit development, photoperiodism, flowering, ABA signaling, and sumoylation. It has been linked to seed weight, size, oil content, protein content, starch content, sucrose content, desiccation tolerance, germination, leaf curling, trichome formation, lateral root formation, cell dedifferentiation, and somatic embryogenesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed maturation, triacylglycerol accumulation in leaves, fatty acid content, and iron distribution in seeds.
