PMEI — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPMEI (DARMORV10_C05P07380.1) on oilseed rape chromosome C05 encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, belonging to the PMEI_plant family and containing a pectinesterase inhibitor domain. The gene is associated with pectin methylesterase inhibition, demethylation, and pectin breakdown, as well as downregulation of enzyme activity. It has been linked to proline content and fungal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits.
