Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaGAMyb
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The wheat transcription factor TaGAMyb recruits histone acetyltransferase and activates the expression of a high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit gene.
• TaGAMyb activates the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes (TaGLU) through recruiting the histone acetyltransferase GCN5.
• The number of TaGAMyb binding motifs in TaGLU-1 genes is correlated with the abundance of glutenin in different cultivars.
• These results demonstrate that TaGAMyb plays a dual role in activating expression of glutenin gene by directly binding to the TaGLU promoter and by recruiting GCN5 to modulate histone acetylation during wheat endosperm development.
• Wheat TaGAMyb, which is encoded by homoeologous group 3, might participate in anther development and the heat stress response.
