MYB1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_008994, designated MYB1 on carrot chromosome 3, encodes a Myb-domain transcription factor that binds DNA and cis-regulatory regions. In carrots, MYB1 is associated with the regulation of primary metabolic processes, cell differentiation, and DNA-templated transcription. It is linked to positive regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, and anthocyanin content. The protein localises to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species, such as MYB1, MYB2, MYB3, MYB4, MYB123, and C1, connect this gene family to similar regulatory roles.
