DARMORV10_A03P16710.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A03P16710.1 on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a DRE1A-I protein containing an AP2/ERF domain, a DNA-binding domain superfamily member that acts as a DNA binding transcription factor. This gene is associated with nuclear localisation and a wide range of biological processes including chlorophyll metabolism, photoprotection, cold acclimation, response to freezing and salt stress, seed and seedling development, sucrose and carbohydrate metabolism, secondary metabolism, demethylation, nuclear export, and post-transcriptional gene silencing. It is also linked to heterosis, transpiration rate, and photochemical quenching traits. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cold-responsive pathways.
