MS35 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvMS35 (PHAVU_005G157600) on chromosome 5 of French bean encodes a MYB-domain transcription factor belonging to the plant SWI/SNF-associated family, with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. The gene is associated with abscission, the shikimate pathway, regulation of lignin anabolism, secondary cell wall biogenesis, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, circadian rhythm, and response to wounding. It is linked to anther secondary cell thickening, anther dehiscence, male fertility, and endothecium lignification. Related genes in other species are linked to secondary cell wall thickening and male sterility due to failed anther dehiscence. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription.
