MYB — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD0UV1G024760 (TtMYB) encodes a protein with DNA binding, RNA polymerase binding, and transcriptional co-regulator activities, localised to the nucleus. In durum wheat, TtMYB is associated with the regulation of circadian rhythm and gene expression, photoperiodism and flowering, anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, mycose metabolism, seed development, cell wall organisation, and responses to salt and abiotic stimulus. The gene has been linked to grain weight, protein content, manganese concentration, coleoptile length, photosynthetic rate, drought tolerance, and temperature stress response trait. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to circadian rhythms, photomorphogenic responses, thermotolerance, cold and heat stress responses, hypocotyl growth, leaf area, biomass, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.
