Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhMYB24
• Gene Name: R2R3-MYB-like protein 24
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• A Cotton Gene Encoding MYB-Like Transcription Factor (GhMYB24) is Specifically Expressed in Pollen and is Involved in Regulation of Late Anther/Pollen Development.
• GhMYB24 protein is localized in the cell nucleus and acts as a transcriptional activator. Northern blot analysis revealed that GhMYB24 transcripts were predominantly detected in anthers.
• Overexpression of GhMYB24 in Arabidopsis caused flower malformation, shorter filaments, non-dehiscent anthers and fewer viable pollen grains.
• A complementation test demonstrated that GhMYB24 was able to recover partially the male fertility of the myb21 myb24 double mutant.
• Yeast two-hybrid assay indicated that GhMYB24 interacted with GhJAZ1/2 in cells. Taking the data together, our results suggest that GhMYB24 may play an important role in normal anther/pollen development.
