PMEI — Brassica napus
Summary
BnPMEI (DARMORV10_A09P65510.1) on chromosome A09 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor with enzyme inhibitor activity. This gene is associated with demethylation, downregulation of enzyme activity, and pectin breakdown, and its product localises to the chloroplast. BnPMEI is linked to proline content and to pectin methylesterase inhibition, as well as to fungal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits.
