Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Bra009770
• Gene Symbol: BnTTG1
• Gene Name: transparent testa glabra 1 isoform 1
• Genome:
• Species: Brasssica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• Hairy Canola (Brasssica napus) re-visited: Down-regulating TTG1 in an AtGL3-enhanced hairy leaf background improves growth, leaf trichome coverage, and metabolite gene expression diversity.
• A role for BnTTG1 in the lateral inhibition of trichome formation in neighbouring cells was also proposed for B. napus.
• The data support the strong impact of BnTTG1 knockdown (in the presence of strong AtGL3 expression) at restoring growth, enhancing trichome coverage and length, and enhancing expression and diversity of growth, metabolic, and anti-oxidant genes important for stress tolerance and plant health in B. napus.
• Our data also suggests that the combination of strong (up-regulated) BnTTG1 expression in concert with strong AtGL3 expression is unstable and lethal to the plant.
