MYB — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7B02G372500, designated TaMYB on bread wheat chromosome 7B, encodes a MYB-related protein with a SANT/Myb domain that binds DNA and localises to the nucleus. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including photoperiodism, photoprotection, antifungal innate immune response, pre-harvest sprouting, and the metabolism of brassinosteroids, jasmonic acid, fructans, waxes, cuticle, glutathione, sulfur, glutamate, glucose, and phosphoglycerides. It has been linked to numerous agronomically important traits such as grain yield, test weight, grain iron and zinc content, leaf chlorophyll content, canopy temperature, osmotic adjustment, drought sensitivity, stripe rust disease response, coleoptile length, root number, biomass yield, and harvest index. Related genes in other species connect the family to additional functions.
