Transcription factor. Isoform MYB59-2 and isoform MYB59-3 (harboring both NLS1 and NLS2) are nuclear, werheas isoform MYB59-1 (harboring NLS2) and isoform MYB59-4 (harboring NLS1) are partially nuclear. Mainly expressed in leaves and seedlings, and to a lower extent, in roots, stems and inflorescences. Isoform MYB59-1 and isoform MYB59-2 are present in roots, leaves, and seedlings, while the expression of isoform MYB59-3 and isoform MYB59-4 is confined to seedlings. Isoform MYB59-1 is induced by jasmonate (JA), salicylic acid (SA), gibberellic acid (GA), and ethylene. Also induced by cadmium (Cd).
