DARMORV10_C08P24120.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C08P24120.1 on chromosome C08 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a secretory peroxidase, a haem-binding enzyme with lactoperoxidase and peroxidase activities. The gene is associated with a broad range of biological processes, including pigment, vitamin A, vitamin B6, carbohydrate, nucleotide, hormone, sulfur and glycerol metabolism, as well as quinone and RNA anabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose-phosphate shunt, water transport, abscission, organogenesis, and response to stimulus. It is linked to traits such as chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, photochemical quenching, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf temperature, root length, plant height, germination rate, lignin content, sodium uptake and content, oxidative stress response, and cytoplasmic male sterility. The encoded protein localises to the vacuole, plant-type cell wall and extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to peroxidase activity (EC 1.11.1.7).
