LEC2 — Brassica napus
Summary
BnLEC2 (DARMORV10_C07P17070.1) on chromosome C07 of oilseed rape encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain transcription factor that localises to the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is associated with positive regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, seed oilbody biogenesis, embryogenesis, fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, lipogenesis, protein synthesis, sucrose metabolism, ABA signaling, sumoylation, pollen maturation, fruit development, photoperiodism flowering, and regeneration. The gene is linked to seed weight, seed size, leaf curling, seed oil content, seed protein content, seed starch content, seed sucrose content, seed desiccation tolerance, and seed germination. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to somatic embryogenesis, seed maturation, triacylglycerol accumulation in leaves, and fatty acid metabolism.
