MYB — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS1A02G275800, designated TaMYB on chromosome 1A of bread wheat, encodes a protein with MYB and SANT domains and has DNA binding transcription factor activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, DNA binding, zinc binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with negative regulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis, antifungal innate immune response, photoprotection, photoperiodism, cellular auxin homeostasis, brassinosteroid anabolism, cuticle anabolism, and determination of dorsoventral asymmetry. It is linked to numerous grain quality and yield traits including diastatic power, seed vitreousness, hardness, texture, flour yield, starch yield, flour protein content, grain dormancy, sprouting tolerance, test weight, grain weight per spike, amylose content, and grain iron and zinc content. Additional associations include drought stress, salt stress tolerance, pre-harvest sprouting, seed dormancy, stem rust infection response, stripe rust reaction type, flag leaf senescence, and plant vigor.
