PR1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPR1 (DARMORV10_A03P45210.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a protein containing a CAP domain and a CRISP-related region, with annotated cytokine activity and protein binding. This gene is associated with activation of immune response, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid anabolism, lignin anabolism, cell wall thickening, regulation of programmed cell death, secretion, detoxification, and sexual reproduction. It localises to the secretory vesicle, vacuole, plant-type cell wall, and extracellular space. Associations include chlorophyll and nitrogen content, and numerous stress and defence responses such as resistance to Rhizoctonia solani, Pseudomonas syringae, Verticillium dahliae, aphids, nematodes, bacterial wilt, salt tolerance, and systemic acquired resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance, fungal and viral resistance, herbivore defence, and abiotic stress tolerance.
