ERD4 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G22120S (symbol ERD4, preferred name BjOSCA1.5) on chromosome A03 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with a CSC1/OSCA1-like domain structure and calcium-activated cation channel activity. The gene is associated with seed germination, response to thirst, and localisation to both the chloroplast membrane and plasmalemma. It has been linked to leaf number and drought tolerance.
