AFT — Brassica napus

Summary

BnAFT (DARMORV10_A03P63550.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with ankyrin repeat and STI1/HOP_DP domains, annotated with multiple molecular functions including cytochrome-b5 reductase activity, glycolipid binding, chloroplast targeting sequence receptor activity, GPCR activity, L-ascorbate peroxidase activity, fatty-acyl-CoA binding, and protein translocase activity. The gene is associated with embryonic morphogenesis, chloroplast localization, response to abiotic stimulus, very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism, cutin-based cuticle development, wax anabolism, and cellular oxidant detoxification. It localizes to the plastid outer membrane, Toc complex, and chloroplast envelope. Associations include plant pigment content, leaf margin color, stem thickness, linolenic acid content, net photosynthetic rate, seed size, plant height, root thickness, chlorophyll content, high temperature stress response, and flower development. Related genes in other species are linked to chloroplast protein targeting, chilling tolerance, and very-long-chain fatty acid content.
