Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BnWRI1
• Gene Name: AP2/EREBP transcription factor
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• BnWRI1 coordinates fatty acid biosynthesis and photosynthesis pathways during oil accumulation in rapeseed.
• Overexpression of BnWRI1 increased expression of both marker genes. Further, the nuclear-localized BnWRI1 protein was found to act as a transcription activator.
• BnWRI1 is co-expressed with genes involved in FA biosynthesis and photosynthesis during seed development
• Overexpression of BnWRI1 promotes expression of the FA biosynthesis- and photosynthesis-related genes in seeds.
• These results suggested that BnWRI1 may coordinate FA biosynthesis and photosynthesis pathways in developing seeds via directly stimulating expression of GT1-element and/or GCC-box containing genes.
