Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Vitvi07g00413
• Gene Symbol: VvibZIPC22
• Gene Name: Pinot Noir basic region/leucine zipper motif C22 protein
• Genome: Vitis vinifera PN40024.v4
• Species: Vitis vinifera

Functional Descriptions:

• The grapevine VvibZIPC22 transcription factor is involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis.
• Identified VvibZIPC22, a member of clade C of the grapevine bZIP family, in a quantitative trait locus (QTL) specifically associated with kaemperol content in mature berries.
• The overexpression of VvibZIPC22 in tobacco caused a significant increase in several flavonoids in the flower, via induction of general and specific genes of the pathway.
• VvibZIPC22 was able to activate the promoters of specific genes of the flavonoid pathway, alone or together with other factors, as revealed by transient reporter assays. These findings, supported by in silico indications, allowed us to propose VvibZIPC22 as a new regulator of flavonoid biosynthesis in grapevine.
