AT2S1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnAT2S1 (AT2S1, SESA1) on chromosome C01 of oilseed rape encodes a napin/2S seed storage protein, belonging to the bifunctional inhibitor/LTP/seed storage family and annotated with nutrient reservoir activity. In B. napus, the gene is associated with seed development, embryogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, lipogenesis, protein synthesis, homologous recombination, and NO storage, and its product is localised extracellularly. It has been linked to seed weight and seed storage protein accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed protein content, seed size, seed maturation, amino acid content, raffinose content, chlorophyll content, phyllotaxy, organ identity, and drought tolerance.
