DARMORV10_A05P09580.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnABI5 (DARMORV10_A05P09580.1) on chromosome A05 of oilseed rape encodes a bZIP transcription factor of the BZIP46-like family, with DNA-binding transcription activator activity and additional annotated functions including protein phosphatase binding, SUMO transferase activity, and aromatic aminotransferase activity. The gene is associated with regulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis, TOR signaling, nitrate assimilation, and salicylic acid metabolism, as well as responses to pH and various metal sensitivities including copper, magnesium, manganese, and cadmium. It has been linked to seed set percent, endosperm storage protein content, protein content, inflorescence length, leaf elongation rate, whole plant size, lignin biosynthesis, phosphorus uptake, and plant male sterility. Related genes in other species are associated with abscisic acid responsiveness, seed longevity, desiccation tolerance, salt stress tolerance, water use efficiency, oil accumulation, and resistance to viruses.
