HAE — Brassica napus

Summary

BnHAE (DARMORV10_C08P13440.1) on oilseed rape chromosome C08 encodes a protein with NFX1-type zinc finger and RRM domains, annotated with multiple molecular functions including peptide hormone binding, transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity, and cycloeucalenol cycloisomerase activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as embryonic meristem development, radial axis specification, secondary thickening, phloem loading, and photosynthesis. It is linked to numerous traits including floral organ size, root number, sucrose and starch content, oleic acid content, nitrate uptake, plant male sterility, and photosynthetic ability. Localization evidence connects the product to thylakoid membranes, plastid stroma, and endocytic vesicles. Related genes in other species are linked to organ abscission, vascular development, meristem function, and stress responses.
