MYB — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7D02G014900, designated TaMYB on bread wheat chromosome 7D, encodes a protein with a Myb DNA-binding domain and SANT domain, and is annotated for transcription cis-regulatory region binding and DNA binding. It is associated with numerous biological processes including photoperiodism, photoprotection, pre-harvest sprouting, antifungal innate immune response, and the anabolism of brassinosteroids, jasmonic acid, cuticle, wax, and fructans. The gene is linked to agronomically important traits such as grain yield, grain iron and zinc content, grain protein content, test weight, heading time, flag leaf senescence, drought sensitivity, stripe rust disease response, stand establishment, plant vigor, harvest index, and root number. It localises to the nucleus and is connected to pathways including starch synthase, polyamine biosynthesis, and allantoin degradation.
