CAT2 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjCAT2 (BJUA09G58220S) on chromosome A09 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein containing a CAT_C domain and an AA/rel_permease1 domain, and is annotated to cellular amino acid homeostasis. The gene product localises to the tonoplast and plant-type vacuole. BjCAT2 is associated with leaf senescence, hydrogen peroxide tolerance, cold tolerance, salicylic acid accumulation, drought tolerance, seed dormancy, stomatal development, salinity stress tolerance, hydrogen peroxide accumulation, aphid resistance, salt stress tolerance, stomatal closure, jasmonic acid biosynthesis, arsenic tolerance, circadian rhythm, senescence, peroxisome aggregation, programmed cell death, salt tolerance, light response, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, stress response, reactive oxygen species homeostasis, heat tolerance, light-responsive gene expression, circadian clock-regulated gene expression, long-term heat tolerance, pathogen resistance, auxin accumulation, and susceptibility to necrotrophic pathogens. Related genes in other species are linked to vacuolar amino acid transport, plant growth, photorespiratory stress tolerance, oxidative stress response, hydrogen peroxide detoxification, reactive oxygen species accumulation, abiotic stress response, uranium stress response, hypersensitive cell death, oxidative stress tolerance, developmental senescence, cadmium tolerance, high-light stress tolerance, and cell death.
