PIP — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPIP (DARMORV10_A03P45170.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a prolyl iminopeptidase belonging to the peptidase S33 and alpha/beta hydrolase fold families, with aminopeptidase activity. The gene is associated with responses to UV-A, UV-B, and salt stress, as well as jasmonic acid signaling, phenylpropanoid metabolism, and anthocyanin anabolism. It has been linked to nitrogen and proline content, photosynthetic rate, and salt tolerance. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, mitochondria, and secretory vesicles. Related genes in other species are linked to root hydraulic conductance, water transport, reduced pollen viability, delayed post-stress growth, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, and root morphology traits.
