ENR1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnENR1 (DARMORV10_A07P06340.1) on chromosome A07 encodes an enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (NADH) with enoyl-ACP reductase activity and copper binding capability, belonging to the enoyl-ACP reductase NADH and short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase families. The gene is associated with fatty acid biosynthesis, lipid metabolism, lipogenesis, triglyceride anabolism, and lipid homeostasis, as well as seed development, embryogenesis, and seed maturation. It has been connected to the FAS complex, chloroplast envelope, thylakoid, chloroplast stroma, and mitochondria. Associations include reactive oxygen species production, premature cell death, cell viability, plant morphology, internode length, and disease resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to programmed cell death, immune response, ovule integument size, and lipid content.
