DARMORV10_C05P55410.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C05P55410.1 on chromosome C05 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a protein with a Glyco_hydro_19 domain and chitin-binding motifs, conferring chitinase activity and chitin binding. This gene is associated with defence responses, including defence response to fungi, innate immunity, and HR-PCD. It is also linked to cell wall macromolecule catabolic process, chitin and polysaccharide breakdown, hormone anabolism, glucosinolate and phenylpropanoid anabolism, calcium signalling, signal transduction, homeostasis, morphogenesis, and protein synthesis. Localisation evidence connects the product to the vacuole. Trait associations include leaf chlorosis and transpiration rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chitin degradation (EC 3.2.1.14).
