Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsMYB12
  • Gene Name: MYB12 protein
  • Genome:
  • Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsbZIP1-CsMYB12 mediates the production of bitter-tasting flavonols in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) through a coordinated activator-repressor network.
  • CsbZIP1 positively regulated CsMYB12 and interacted with CsMYB12, which specifically activated flavonol biosynthesis.
  • Suppression of CsMYB12 and CsbZIP1 in shoot tips affected flavonol biosynthesis.
  • CsbZIP1 acted as an activator of CsMYB12 and CsFLS and CsUGT78A14 genes with CsMYB12 to promote UV-B-induced flavonol production.
  • These combined results suggest that UV activation and shading repression of flavonol biosynthesis in tea leaves are coordinated through a complex network involving CsbZIP1 and CsPIF3 as positive MYB activators and negative MYB repressors, respectively.
