Disease relevance of MYB24

• Over-expression of AtMYB24 in transgenic plants resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes, including dwarfism and flower development defects, in particular, producing abnormal pollen grains and non-dehiscence anthers [1].

High impact information on MYB24

• Together with the data from transcriptional profiling, these results indicate that MYB21 and MYB24 are induced by jasmonate and mediate important aspects of the jasmonate response during stamen development [2].
• Quantitative real-time PCR showed expression of genes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway, such as CHS and DFR, and AtGTP2 were altered in AtMYB24-ox lines [1].

Biological context of MYB24

• A myb24 mutant was phenotypically wild-type, but production of a myb21myb24 double mutant indicated that introduction of the myb24 mutation exacerbated all three aspects of the myb21 phenotype [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MYB24

• AtMYB24, as a member of R2R3-MYB gene family in Arabidopsis, was found mainly expressed in flowers, especially in microspores and ovules using Northern blots and in situ hybridization [1].
