MYB27 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA033532 (MYB27, OiMYB27) on chromosome 11 of Indica rice encodes a protein with sequence-specific DNA binding activity, belonging to the MYB domain and EOBI/EOBII-like plant families. The gene is associated with regulation of potassium transport, cellular response to potassium ion, shikimate metabolism, regulation of cell wall organization, pigmentation, anthocyanin anabolism, floral organ senescence, antiviral response, and green leaf volatile biosynthesis. It is linked to abiotic and biotic stress, as well as hull color, grain length, grain size, salinity, drought, ABA, jasmonic acid biosynthesis, salicylic acid production, leaf senescence, pathogen resistance, insect resistance, stomatal closure, root elongation, and potassium stress response. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species connect the family to root growth, calcium homeostasis, cadmium tolerance, and nematode resistance.
