ADO2 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB03G02260S (BjADO2, also known as BjLKP2, LKP2, ADO2, or PHOT2) on chromosome B03 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with F-box, Kelch-type β-propeller, and PAS domains, and exhibits blue light photoreceptor activity, DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, and protein serine kinase activity. This gene is associated with circadian regulation of gene expression, photoentrainment of the circadian clock, temperature compensation, chloroplast movement, and the far-red and red light signaling pathways. It is linked to photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, vegetative vigor, fruit set, leaf trichome density, petal size, stamen length, seedling hypocotyl length, spot blotch, molybdenum content, and responses to temperature stress, UV-B light, aphids, osmotic stress, and herbicides. The product localizes to the SCF complex, dynein complex, and nuclear speck. Related genes in other species are linked to photoperiodic flowering, circadian rhythm, trichome development, and drought escape.
