Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gorai.007G350500.1
• Gene Symbol: GhMYB212
• Gene Name: R2R3-MYB transcription factor 212
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• Cotton fiber elongation requires the transcription factor GhMYB212 to regulate sucrose transportation into expanding fibers.
• RNA-seq and protein−DNA binding assays revealed that GhMYB212 was closely linked to the pathways of sucrose and starch transportation and metabolism, directly controling the expression of a sucrose transporter gene GhSWEET12.
• GhMYB212 RNAi plants (GhMYB212i) accumulated less sucrose and glucose in developing fibers, and had shorter fibers and a lower lint index.
• Current investigations support the idea that GhMYB212 functions as the main regulator of fiber elongation by controlling the expression of GhSWEET12, and therefore it is important to study cell expansion and sugar transportation during seed development.
