Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: NtMYC2b
  • Gene Name: MYC2b transcription factor
  • Genome:
  • Species: Nicotiana tabacum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Tobacco Transcription Factors NtMYC2a and NtMYC2b Form Nuclear Complexes with the NtJAZ1 Repressor and Regulate Multiple Jasmonate-Inducible Steps in Nicotine Biosynthesis.
  • Using split-YFP assays, we further show that, in the absence of JA, NtMYC2a and NtMYC2b are present as nuclear complexes with the NtJAZ1 repressor.
  • RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of NtMYC2a and NtMYC2b expression results in significant decreases in JA-inducible NtPMT1a transcript levels, as well as reduced levels of transcripts encoding other enzymes involved in nicotine and minor alkaloid biosynthesis, including an 80–90% reduction in the level of transcripts encoding the putative nicotine synthase gene NtA662.
  • These data suggest that NtMYC2a, b, c are required components of JA-inducible expression of multiple genes in the nicotine biosynthetic pathway and may act additively in the activation of JA responses.
