MYB — triticum aestivum

Summary

TaMYB (TRAESCS7D02G458000) on wheat chromosome 7D encodes a MYB-related protein with a SANT/Myb domain that binds DNA and transcription cis-regulatory regions. This nuclear protein is associated with diverse biological processes including photoperiodism, photoprotection, brassinosteroid and jasmonic acid anabolism, cuticle and wax anabolism, lipid transport, and responses to abiotic stimuli. It is linked to pre-harvest sprouting, antifungal innate immune response, and metabolism of glutamate, glucose, sulfur, glutathione, fructan, and phosphoglycerides. The gene is linked to numerous agronomically important traits including grain yield, grain iron and zinc content, grain protein content, test weight, harvest index, biomass yield, plant vigor, stand establishment, leaf chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, drought sensitivity, coleoptile length and color, pericarp and seed coat color, starch and sugar content, proline content, and stem elongation.
