GTR2 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BjGTR2 (BJUA02G02010S) on chromosome A02 of Indian mustard encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily and the POT family, with glucosinolate:proton symporter activity. The gene is associated with phloem glucosinolate loading, glucosinolate anabolism, and defense response, and its product localizes to the plasma membrane and plasmodesmata. BjGTR2 is associated with glucosinolate accumulation, transport, and distribution, including seed glucosinolate levels, as well as aphid resistance. Related genes in other species are linked to long-distance transport of aliphatic glucosinolates, nitrate uptake, and aphid response traits.
