Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BnTT16.4
• Gene Name: TRANSPARENT TESTA 16
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• Brassica napus TT16 homologs with different genomic origins and expression levels encode proteins that regulate a broad range of endothelium-associated genes at the transcriptional level.
• The transcription factor TRANSPARENT TESTA 16 (TT16) plays an important role in endothelial cell specification and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation.
• Bntt16 RNA interference lines exhibited abnormal endothelial development and decreased PA content, while PA polymerization was not affected.
• These results will better our understanding of the precise role of TT16 in endothelial development in Brassicaceae species, and could potentially be used for the future improvement of oilseed crops.
