BIN1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnBIN1 (BIN1, DARMORV10_A06P48520.1) on chromosome A06 of oilseed rape encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase with a plant-specific BRI1 island domain and serine/threonine kinase activity. The gene is associated with activation of brassinosteroid mediated signalling and negative regulation of brassinosteroid biosynthetic process, as well as putrescine metabolism, polyamine metabolism, allantoin anabolism, and fatty acid breakdown. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including harvest index, seed weight, seed coat color, inflorescence length, shoot growth angle, branch angle, plant male sterility, anther morphology, seedling hypocotyl length, and responses to water stress, temperature stress, aluminum, aphids, and wheat powdery mildew. The product localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, late endosome, and SNARE complex, and is associated with dwarfism, salt tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, and plant defense responses.
