MYB — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS1B02G129800, designated TaMYB on bread wheat chromosome 1B, encodes an HTH myb-type domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase binding, and transcriptional co-regulator functions. It is associated with photoperiodism, upregulation of circadian rhythm, photoprotection, brassinosteroid anabolism, fructan anabolism, antifungal innate immune response, and pre-harvest sprouting. The gene is linked to grain iron and zinc content, grain yield per plant, test weight, harvest index, grain protein content, stem rust, drought sensitivity, stand establishment, plant vigor, and net photosynthetic rate. Associations also include grain color, seed coat color, pericarp color, leaf color, starch content, sugar content, proline content, and temperature stress response trait. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus.
