GRP20 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnGRP20 (GRP20) on chromosome C02 encodes a protein with mRNA CDS binding and lipid binding activities. It is associated with nitrogen homeostasis, malonyl-CoA and CoA metabolism, fatty acid and lipid oxidation, lipid homeostasis and regulation of lipid metabolism, pigment metabolism, protein metabolism and storage, pollen-stigma interaction, response to stimulus, and regulation of mRNA splicing via the spliceosome. The gene is linked to oilbody, spliceosome complex, extracellular, membrane, and mitochondrial localisation. Associations with agronomic traits include linoleic acid content, oleic acid content, starch content, protein content, seed weight, seed size, seed maturation, and flower development. Related genes in other species link the family to an oleosin-B1 protein and a major facilitator superfamily transporter domain.
