MYBS3 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA017461 (MYBS3) on chromosome 5 of Indica rice encodes an uncharacterized protein with a Myb domain, SANT domain, and homeodomain-like superfamily, and has DNA binding transcription factor activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, and zinc binding. It is associated with post-embryonic plant organ morphogenesis, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, cellular auxin homeostasis, pigmentation, response to absence of light, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, lateral root development, response to sucrose, anthocyanin anabolism, leaf senescence, response to gibberellin, response to salicylate, downregulation of transcription, response to ethylene, flower development, DNA-dependent transcription, upregulation of transcription, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene is linked to hull color, grain length, grain size, and GRLG. Related genes in other species are linked to abscisic acid concentration, rolled leaf, flavonoid content, cellulose content, leaf color, seed weight, leaf angle, leaf shape, lignin content, heterosis, heat tolerance, seed size, grain number, cold tolerance, chlorophyll content, seed germination, grain yield, and salt tolerance.
