CSA (TRAESCS3D02G191400) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS3D02G191400, also known as TaCSA, encodes a MYB transcription factor on wheat chromosome 3D. The protein contains a Myb domain and SANT/Myb domain, and has been annotated with transcription regulator activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and chromatin binding. TaCSA is associated with numerous biological processes including regulation of seed size, anther development, plant epidermis development, cellular responses to brassinosteroid and drought, downregulation of long-day photoperiodism and cell division, and quiescent center organization. It is linked to traits such as grain width, spike density, spikelet number, stripe rust, copper concentration, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, and brassinosteroid sensitivity. The gene is also associated with cytoplasmic male sterility, pollen fertility restoration, and root oxidative activity. Related genes in other species link the family to root quiescent center division, UV-B tolerance, and flavonoid accumulation.
