DARMORV10_C04P58130.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C04P58130.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome C04 encodes an expansin, a protein with an expansin_CBD domain and a RlpA-like DPBB domain. This gene is associated with plant-type cell wall loosening, cell growth, and plant-type cell wall organization or biogenesis. It is linked to seed germination, embryogenesis, response to hypoxia, auxin signaling, calcium signaling, and homeostasis. Associations also include RNA anabolism, protein synthesis, the pentose-phosphate shunt, TCA cycle, glucosinolate anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, demethylation, and proteolysis. The encoded protein is localized to the extracellular region and membrane. Trait associations include leaf water potential, germination rate, stem elongation, and plant height. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cell wall modification processes.
