PMEI — Brassica napus
Summary
BnPMEI (PMEI) on chromosome A06 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, a member of the PCW enzyme inhibitor family containing a pectinesterase inhibitor domain and an invertase/methylesterase inhibitor domain. The gene is associated with pectin methylesterase inhibition, pectin breakdown, demethylation, and downregulation of enzyme activity. It has been connected to proline content and fungal resistance. Related genes in other species link the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits.
