EPSPS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnEPSPS (DARMORV10_C03P30000.1) on chromosome C03 of oilseed rape encodes a 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase and contains an EPSP synthase domain. The protein is localised to the chloroplast stroma. This gene is associated with aromatic amino acid family anabolism, the shikimate pathway, secondary metabolism, response to herbicide, Roundup metabolism, chlorophyll fluorescence, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, immune response, circadian rhythm, cell wall modification, RNA processing, mitosis, syngamy, and ribosome biogenesis. It is linked to leaf temperature and IAA content. Related genes in other species are associated with glyphosate sensitivity and tolerance, auxin content, fecundity, and root morphology traits.
