PDF1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPDF1 (DARMORV10_C04P69930.1) on chromosome C04 of oilseed rape encodes a member of the Protodermal_1 family, containing a PDF1_C domain. The gene is associated with defense response, systemic acquired resistance, induced systemic resistance, response to chitin, JA signaling, calcium signaling, and quorum sensing. It is linked to cell wall thickening, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and protodermal development with L1 layer-specific expression. Associations include net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate, and stomatal resistance. The encoded protein localizes to the extracellular region and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, zinc tolerance, seed dormancy, and leaf shape.
