CLV3 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnCLV3 (DARMORV10_C04P56610.1) on chromosome C04 of oilseed rape encodes a CLV3/ESR family protein. The gene product is associated with signaling receptor binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, kinase activity, and protein binding. It has been linked to meristem cell maintenance, regulation of meristem size and organisation, shoot apical meristem (SAM) development, floral organ development, microsporocyte differentiation, pollen maturation, gametophyte development, cell surface receptor signaling, signal complex assembly, regeneration, and organogenesis. Localisation evidence connects the protein to the apoplast, plasmalemma, membrane, plasmodesma, plant-type vacuole, and extracellular region. Trait associations include seed weight, plant height, floral organ size, anther morphology, gynoecium development, meristem identity, organ identity, disease tolerance, and high temperature stress response. Phenotypic links involve stem cell proliferation, homeostasis, maintenance, shoot meristem size, cytokinin level, floral organ number, carpel number, stem stiffness, and cross-sectional area.
