MYB1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_027563, designated DcMYB1 on carrot chromosome 8, encodes a MYB transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA-binding activity and chromatin-binding capacity. The gene is associated with regulation of lignin anabolism, anther development, anther wall tapetum development, anthocyanin anabolism, upregulation of response to thirst, activation of salinity response, cell differentiation, downregulation of transcription, pollen development, upregulation of transcription, response to cold, DNA-dependent transcription, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. DcMYB1 is linked to stress response, salt tolerance, and drought tolerance. The protein localises to the nucleus, nuclear speck, and cytosol. Related genes in other species link the family to tapetum development, osmotic stress tolerance, salt stress tolerance, abscisic acid response, seed germination under salt stress, leaf shape, leaf development, root shape, grain size, petiole length, fruit shape, sugar content, stomatal resistance, leaf composition trait, abscisic acid sensitivity, and SALTTL.
