DARMORV10_C02P04940.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnHY5 (DARMORV10_C02P04940.1) on chromosome C02 of oilseed rape encodes a bZIP transcription factor of the Hac1/HY5 family with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific, and is annotated with phytochrome binding, red/far-red light photoreceptor activity, and nuclear import signal receptor activity. The gene is associated with regulation of the phytochrome signaling pathway, upregulation of photosynthesis and lateral root development, chlorophyll metabolism, cellular water homeostasis, and sucrose-mediated signaling. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including seed coat hardness and color, leaf area and angle, vegetative vigor, fruit quality, total soluble sugar content, osmotic adjustment capacity, and responses to UV, far-red, and blue light, as well as glyphosate sensitivity and viral disease response.
