Abstract
Provided are nucleic acid sequences from Brassica juncea plants that encode transcription regulator involved in the synthesis of a glucosinolate molecule, and methods of their use. The sequences find particular use in modifying the glucosinolate content of a plant. The present invention further provides a method for reducing glucosinolate content of a plant by inhibiting expression of BJMYB28 gene. The inhibition of expression of the BJMYB28 gene or reduction of mRNA levels of the BJMYB28 gene was accomplished by expression of the BjMYB28 gene or a fragment thereof in the antisense orientation or by expression of an RNA interference construct in transgenic plants.
