PMEI — Brassica napus
Summary
BnPMEI (DARMORV10_A06P06070.1) on chromosome A06 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, belonging to the PCW enzyme inhibitor and pectinesterase inhibitor domain families. The gene product has pectinesterase inhibitor activity and enzyme inhibitor activity, and is associated with demethylation, downregulation of enzyme activity, and pectin breakdown. It has been linked to proline content and pectin methylesterase inhibition, as well as fungal resistance. Related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits.
