ABS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnABS (DARMORV10_C07P44300.1) on chromosome C07 encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and protein dimerization activities. This gene is associated with the regulation of proanthocyanidin anabolism, starch anabolism, lipogenesis, seed coat development, mucilage extrusion from seed coat, auxin transport, and the specification of floral organ identity, petal identity, stamen identity, and carpel development. It has been linked to seed coat color, seed longevity, oleic acid content, linoleic acid content, flowering time, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time trait, petal number, and corolla morphology trait, sepal morphology trait, stamen morphology trait, and inflorescence morphology trait. Associations also include fruit growth and development trait, root morphology trait, high temperature stress response, and phenotypes such as yellow seeds, altered seed pigmentation, abnormal endothelium development, homeotic flower mutations, and reduced stamen number. Related genes in other species are linked to endothelium development, integument development, and seed coloration.
