SUB — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101513190 (CaSUB, also known as CaMYB39) encodes a MYB transcription factor containing a Myb DNA-binding domain and a SANT/Myb domain. The protein localises to the nucleus and the Casparian strip, and its molecular functions include sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and protein binding. CaSUB is associated with the regulation of flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, lignin, and suberin biosynthesis, as well as the shikimate pathway, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, seed development, circadian rhythm, and responses to wounding and cold. It is also linked to the Casparian strip. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to root endodermis suberization and root suberization.
