MYB122 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoMYB122 (BOLC102_C02P035970.1) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a MYB-family transcription factor with a Myb DNA-binding domain and SANT/Myb domain, possessing sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription factor activity, and binding to bHLH transcription factors, chromatin, kinases, calcium ions, and proteins. It is associated with regulation of defense response to insect, glucosinolate and indole glucosinolate anabolism, anthocyanin and flavonoid anabolism, regulation of lignin anabolism, regulation of secondary cell wall biogenesis, stomatal complex development, the shikimate pathway, and responses to desiccation, hyperosmotic salinity, and extracellular ATP signaling. The gene is linked to traits including aphid response, insect damage response, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, seed protein content, shoot elongation under submergence, phosphorus response, branch angle, flowering time, leaf growth and development, root mass density, lateral root length, and root thickness. Related genes in other species are linked to resistance to bacterial and fungal pathogens, insect herbivory resistance, callose deposition, and phosphate deficiency response.
