PCN — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G34190S (BjPCN) on chromosome A03 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein containing WD40 repeat domains and a quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase-like superfamily domain. The gene is associated with post-embryonic plant organ development, meristem maintenance and growth, root meristem growth, lateral root formation, leaf development, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, and regulation of auxin polar transport. Its product localizes to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to meristem identity and plant embryo development traits.
