ELG — Brassica napus

Summary

BnELG (also known as BnBAK1, BnSERK3) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains and a serine/threonine kinase catalytic domain, and is annotated with molecular functions including GTPase inhibitor activity, guanylyl cyclase activity, and peptide receptor activity. The gene is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways and reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death. It is linked to traits including grain yield, bacterial disease resistance, submergence tolerance, nitrate sensitivity, phosphorus uptake, temperature stress response, plant male sterility, and brassinosteroid content. Localization evidence connects the product to the endosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmodesmata. Related genes in other species are linked to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, organ size regulation, and waterlogging tolerance.
