DARMORV10_A08P17620.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnELG (also known as BnBAK1, BnSERK3) on chromosome A08 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase domains, associated with GTPase inhibitor, guanylyl cyclase, and peptide receptor activities. The gene is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, upregulation of cellular defense, downregulation of immune response, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, carbohydrate homeostasis, and negative regulation of floral organ abscission. Associations with agronomic traits include grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, submergence tolerance, brassinosteroid content, lignin biosynthesis, phosphorus uptake, and plant male sterility. The product localizes to the endosome, ER membrane, plasmodesma, and heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Related genes in other species are linked to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, and organ size regulation.
