MYB — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7A02G017600, designated TaMYB on bread wheat chromosome 7A, encodes a protein with Myb and SANT DNA-binding domains that localises to the nucleus and is annotated for transcription cis-regulatory region binding and DNA binding. This gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including photoperiodism, photoprotection, antifungal innate immune response, and metabolism of brassinosteroids, jasmonic acid, fructans, waxes, cuticle, glutathione, sulfur, glucose, glutamate, and phosphoglycerides. It is linked to pre-harvest sprouting, grain iron and zinc content, grain protein content, grain yield per plant, test weight, heading time, stand establishment, plant vigor, drought sensitivity, and root and vascular bundle traits. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to spikelet number.
