ATY13 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3002G385450 (SbATY13) on sorghum chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a Myb_TF_plants domain, Myb domain, SANT/Myb domain, and Homeodomain-like superfamily, possessing sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription regulator activity, and protein kinase activity. It is associated with brassinosteroid content and sensitivity, regulation of abscisic acid anabolism, seed dormancy regulation, and very-long-chain fatty acid and wax anabolism. The gene is linked to drought response, water loss, stomatal regulation, and temperature stress response, as well as photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, root development, and shoot axis branching. It localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and plasma membrane, and is associated with cell wall polysaccharide anabolism, cellulose anabolism, pollen exine formation, and UV protection. Related genes in other species link the family to cuticular wax accumulation, seed oil accumulation, and defense responses.
