DARMORV10_A08P01720.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A08P01720.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome A08 encodes a protein with malate dehydrogenase domains and NAD-L-malate dehydrogenase activity. This gene is associated with central carbon metabolism, including the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle, photorespiration, and photosynthetic electron transport, as well as malate metabolism, fatty acid and lipid oxidation, and carboxylic acid metabolism. It is linked to mitochondrial lumen and cytoplasmic localisation, and to processes such as mitochondrial biogenesis, protein synthesis, translation initiation, sulfur amino acid metabolism, autotrophy, heterotrophy, ethylene anabolism, and response to freezing. The gene has been connected to agronomically relevant traits including leaf chlorosis, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 1.1.1.37 activity.
