DARMORV10_A09P29920.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A09P29920.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome A09 encodes a cryptochrome/photolyase family protein with DNA (6-4) photolyase activity, CPD photolyase activity, blue light photoreceptor activity, FAD binding, protein homodimerization activity, DNA binding, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with photoreactive repair, photoentrainment of the circadian clock, circadian regulation of gene expression, photomorphogenesis, de-etiolation, regulation of post-embryonic development, regulation of leaf morphogenesis, regulation of meristem size, stomatal movement, response to strigolactone, response to absence of light, response to low fluence blue light, cell wall modification, regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process, and system development. It is linked to plant height and localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, nuclear body, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to DNA repair and blue light signaling.
