LEC1 — Brassica napus
Summary
BnLEC1 (DARMORV10_C05P21000.1) on chromosome C05 of oilseed rape encodes a DNA-binding transcription activator with RNA polymerase II-specific activity, belonging to the NF-YB/HAP3 family of transcription factors. It is associated with regulation of fatty acid anabolism, lipogenesis, starch anabolism, proanthocyanidin anabolism, and positive regulation of photomorphogenesis. The gene has been linked to seed development and maturation, embryo morphogenesis, seed oil biosynthesis, storage protein accumulation, and desiccation tolerance. It is also connected to flowering time regulation, particularly downregulation of long-day photoperiodism, as well as traits including leaf curling, starch and protein content, root morphology, abscisic acid sensitivity, and disease tolerance. The product localizes to the nucleus, plastid, and CCAAT-binding factor complex, and is associated with chromatin binding and protein heterodimerization activity.
