COR15 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnCOR15 (DARMORV10_C03P28240.1) on chromosome C03 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with protein kinase, transmembrane receptor protein kinase, and lipid binding activities, and is localized to the chloroplast envelope and stroma. The gene is associated with response to freezing, drought recovery, high light intensity, and chitin, as well as plastid inner membrane organization and protein stabilization. It has been linked to cold tolerance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, chlorophyll content, bacterial blight disease resistance, and seed development. Related genes in other species are associated with freezing tolerance, chilling tolerance, salt stress tolerance, and disease resistance, and with chitin signaling, innate immunity, and fungal resistance.
