BGLU19 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnBGLU19 (BGLU19) on chromosome C01 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with a glycosyl hydrolase family 1 domain and is annotated with beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-D-fucosidase, glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, beta-gentiobiose beta-glucosidase, raucaffricine beta-glucosidase, vomilenine glucosyltransferase, and beta-L-arabinosidase activities, as well as protein binding and transcription coactivator activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including pentose breakdown, quinone and zeatin anabolism, nitrogen homeostasis, oxidative phosphorylation, proline and methionine metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and lipid storage. It is linked to numerous agronomic traits such as plant fresh weight, root volume, sodium uptake and content, seed weight and viability, water use efficiency, anthocyanin content, heterosis, cytoplasmic male sterility, and leaf, floral, and embryo development traits. Related genes in other species are associated with salt tolerance, seed-specific expression, organ and seed size, leaf cell proliferation, iron uptake, and anthocyanin biosynthesis.
