Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MDP0000800387
• Gene Symbol: MdBBX20
• Gene Name: B-box zinc finger protein 20
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

• The B-box zinc finger protein MdBBX20 integrates anthocyanin accumulation in response to ultraviolet radiation and low temperature.
• A B-box transcription factor gene, MdBBX20, was characterized in apple and identified to promote anthocyanin biosynthesis under UV-B conditions in field experiments and when overexpressed in transgenic apple calli.
• The transcript level of MdBBX20 was significantly induced by UV-B. Specific G-box elements in the promoters of target genes were identified as interaction sites for MdBBX20.
