MYCGR3G109027 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G109027, also known as STB2 or STB6 on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 4, encodes the Stb2/Stb6 family protein. The gene is associated with the regulation of programmed cell death, cell death, and immune and defense responses. It has been linked to chlorophyll anabolism, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthesis, and stomatal closure, as well as stomatal resistance and non-photochemical and photochemical quenching. Additional associations include asexual sporulation, sexual reproduction, and plant height. The gene is also connected to oxidative stress and virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar processes, though these findings are not established for STB2 itself.
