MYB80 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G045430, also known as MYB80, encodes a Myb-domain transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and chromatin binding activities, localised to the nucleus. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with the regulation of signaling, primary metabolic processes, and gene expression, as well as with proanthocyanidin, anthocyanin, flavonoid, and lignin anabolism, pigmentation, the shikimate pathway, and secondary metabolism. It has been linked to anther wall tapetum development, morphogenesis, and responses to freezing, salt, and stress, including drought tolerance. Associations with green leaf volatile biosynthesis and homeostasis are also noted. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar regulatory roles in development and stress responses.
