MYB96 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA18G035920 (MYB96) in Camelina sativa encodes a MYB transcription factor with DNA-binding and chromatin-binding activity, localised to the nucleus. This gene is associated with the regulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis and signalling, as well as the upregulation of wax, lignin, flavonoid and phlobaphene biosynthesis, pigment accumulation, and defence responses to insects. MYB96 is linked to seed dormancy, seed oil accumulation, triacylglycerol accumulation, cuticular wax accumulation, freezing tolerance, drought tolerance and osmotic stress tolerance. It is also associated with stomatal movement, lateral root formation, callus formation, pathogen resistance, and anther wall tapetum development. Related genes in other species link the family to cuticle formation, drought resistance, seed fatty acid accumulation, triacylglycerol assembly, and immunity to Botrytis cinerea.
