Locus name	AT1G32640
Alias	MYC2/JAI1/JIN1
Organism	Arabidopsis thaliana
Description	JASMONATE INSENSITIVE 1;Encodes a MYC-related transcriptional activator with a typical DNA binding domain of a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper motif. Binds to an extended G-Box promoter motif and interacts with Jasmonate ZIM-domain proteins. Its transcription is induced by dehydration stress and ABA treatment. Negative regulator of blue light__ediated photomorphogenic growth and blue and far-red-light__egulated gene expression. Positive regulator of lateral root formation. Regulates diverse JA-dependent functions. Negatively regulates Trp metabolism and biosynthesis of Trp-derived secondary metabolites. Positively regulates flavonoid biosynthesis, resistance to insects, and response to oxidative stress. Regulates other transcription factors, and negatively regulates its own expression.
