DARMORV10_A10P29660.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A10P29660.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome A10 encodes a secretory haem peroxidase with lactoperoxidase and peroxidase activities, heme binding, and metal binding. This gene is associated with diverse biological processes including pentose breakdown, quinone and zeatin anabolism, hormone metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and regulation of phosphorylation. It is linked to numerous agronomically relevant traits such as stem fresh and dry weight, root dry weight and volume, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, transpiration rate, carbohydrate, flavonoid, carotenoid, lignin, cellulose, sugar, proline, and protein content, as well as stem strength, leaf chlorosis, germination rate, heterosis, hybrid incompatibility, and cytoplasmic male sterility. The encoded protein localises to the vacuole, plant-type cell wall, and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to peroxidase activity (EC 1.11.1.7).
