BG2 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnBG2 (DARMORV10_C08P32670.1) on chromosome C08 of oilseed rape encodes a glycosyl hydrolase family 17 protein with lichenase, cellulase, glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase and glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activities, as well as protein and phosphorylated amino acid binding. This gene is associated with induced systemic resistance, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, auxin, lignin and phenylpropanoid anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, leaf senescence, programmed cell death, and cold response. It is linked to root weight, root length, nitrate uptake, seedling growth and development, leaf composition, organ identity, aphid susceptibility, defense response, disease resistance including to Verticillium dahliae, drought and salt tolerance, dehydration resistance, callose deposition, cellulose biosynthesis, and systemic acquired resistance. The protein localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, Golgi, mitochondria, cytosol and secretory vesicles.
