Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Vitvi01g01745
• Gene Symbol: VvCEB1
• Gene Name: basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor
• Genome: Vitis vinifera PN40024.v4
• Species: Vitis vinifera

Functional Descriptions:

• The grape berry-specific basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor VvCEB1 affects cell size.
• The present work identified and characterized Vitis vinifera cell elongation bHLH protein (VvCEB1), a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor controlling cell expansion in grape.
• Overexpression of VvCEB1 in grape embryos showed that this protein stimulates cell expansion and affects the expression of genes involved in cell expansion, including genes of auxin metabolism and signalling.
• Taken together, these data show that VvCEB1 is a fruit-specific bHLH transcription factor involved in grape berry development.
