CAT2 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjCAT2 (BJUB04G34540S) on chromosome B04 of Indian mustard encodes a protein containing a CAT_C domain and an AA/rel_permease1 domain. The gene is associated with cellular amino acid homeostasis and localises to the tonoplast and plant-type vacuole. It is linked to leaf senescence, hydrogen peroxide tolerance, cold tolerance, drought tolerance, salicylic acid accumulation, 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 hydrogen peroxide detoxification, oxidative stress tolerance, photorespiratory stress tolerance, and vacuolar amino acid transport.
