Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Sobic.004G273800
• Gene Symbol: SbMyb60
• Gene Name:
• Genome: sorghum genome (Yilmaz et al., 2009) (http://grassius.org/grasstfdb.html)
• Species: Sorghum bicolor

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of SbMyb60 impacts phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and alters secondary cell wall composition in Sorghum bicolor.
• In this study we investigated the role of SbMyb60 in lignin biosynthesis in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), which is a drought-tolerant, high-yielding biomass crop.
• Transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing SbMyb60 also displayed ectopic lignification in leaf midribs and elevated concentrations of soluble phenolic compounds in biomass.
• Results indicate that overexpression of SbMyb60 is associated with activation of monolignol biosynthesis in sorghum. SbMyb60 represents a target for modification of plant cell wall composition, with the potential to improve biomass for renewable uses.
