MYB306 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA023865 (MYB306) on chromosome 7 of Indica rice encodes a protein with a Myb_TF_plants domain, Myb_dom, SANT/Myb and Homeodomain-like_sf, and has chromatin-binding, sequence-specific DNA-binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and DNA binding activity, localised to the nucleus. The gene is associated with pigment accumulation in tissues, pigment biosynthetic process involved in pigment accumulation, phlobaphene biosynthetic process, upregulation of phytoalexin biosynthesis, pigmentation, upregulation of defense response to insect, regulation of lignin anabolism, anther wall tapetum development, anthocyanin anabolism, stomatal movement, flavonoid anabolism, response to auxin, DNA-dependent transcription, upregulation of transcription, salinity response, defence response to fungi, response to cold, and response to abscisic acid. Trait associations include hull colour, grain length, grain size, and GRLG. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to rolled leaf, cellulose content, leaf angle, leaf shape, heat tolerance, grain number, chlorophyll content, and SALTTL.
