PEP — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPEP (DARMORV10_A10P27090.1) on chromosome A10 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with very-long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase activity, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH) activity, and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, placing it in the Tyr_Pase-like_PTPLA domain family. This gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism and anabolism, fatty acid elongation, sphingolipid metabolism, wax anabolism, suberin biosynthesis, cutin-based cuticle development, cell polarization, symmetric cell division, guard mother cell division, regulation of meiotic nuclear division, and cell cycle G1/S phase transition. It is linked to traits including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, high temperature stress response, plant male sterility, root mass density, root thickness, trichome morphology, leaf composition, and shoot apical meristem development. The product localizes to the fatty acid elongase complex, ER membrane, and cell wall.
