DARMORV10_C03P28990.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C03P28990.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome C03 encodes a protein with chitinase activity and chitin binding, belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase 19 family. This gene is associated with chitin breakdown, cell wall macromolecule catabolic processes, polysaccharide breakdown, and killing of cells of other organisms. It is linked to extracellular localisation, secretion, and response to aluminum. Associations include carbohydrate anabolism, amino sugar metabolism, protein metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, glucosinolate anabolism, ethylene anabolism, chlorophyll anabolism, and secondary metabolism. The gene is associated with photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to EC 3.2.1.14 chitinase activity.
