PDF1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjPDF1 (BJUB06G55660S) on chromosome B06 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein belonging to the Protodermal_1 family, containing a PDF1_C domain. The gene is associated with glucosinolate metabolism and defense responses, and its product localizes to the extracellular region and nucleus. It has been linked to photosynthetic rate and protodermal development, with L1 layer-specific expression observed. Related genes in other species are associated with zinc tolerance, pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance, as well as traits including net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf shape, seed dormancy, and zinc sensitivity.
