PAP2 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPAP2 (DARMORV10_A07P25560.1) on chromosome A07 of oilseed rape encodes a protein belonging to the peptidase S33 family with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. The gene is associated with petal development, pigmentation, regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, anthocyanin metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, and proteolysis. It has been linked to vacuolar and cytosolic localisation. In terms of traits, BnPAP2 is associated with flower color, leaf senescence, and anthocyanin accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin biosynthesis, petal color, anthocyanin content, leaf senescence, and photochemical quenching.
