ERD4 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUA05G21870S (ERD4, BjOSCA1.8) encodes a CSC1/OSCA1-like protein with mechanically gated channel activity and calcium-activated cation channel activity. This Indian mustard gene on chromosome A05 is associated with seed germination and response to thirst. It has been linked to leaf number and drought tolerance. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast membrane, plasmodesma, Golgi complex and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to yield and root morphology traits, as well as seed and root phenotypes.
