MYB96 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsMYB96 (CSA02G070590) on Camelina sativa chromosome 2 encodes a MYB family transcription factor with DNA-binding, chromatin-binding, and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity, localised to the nucleus. The gene is associated with the regulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis and signalling, seed dormancy and germination, and stomatal movement. It is linked to drought tolerance and response, freezing tolerance, osmotic stress tolerance, and cuticular wax accumulation and biosynthesis. Additional associations include seed oil accumulation, triacylglycerol accumulation, fatty acid biosynthesis, lipid mobilisation, lateral root formation, callus formation, pathogen and disease resistance, salicylic acid biosynthesis, and pigment accumulation including phlobaphene biosynthetic processes. The gene is also associated with anther wall tapetum development and stress response. Related genes in other species link the family to cuticle formation, drought resistance, seed fatty acid accumulation, triacylglycerol assembly, and immunity to Botrytis cinerea.
