PMEI — Brassica napus
Summary
BnPMEI (DARMORV10_C08P49490.1) on chromosome C08 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, belonging to the PCW_Enzyme_Inhibitor and pectinesterase inhibitor domain families. The gene is associated with pectin methylesterase inhibition, pectin breakdown, demethylation, and downregulation of enzyme activity. It has been linked to fungal resistance and proline content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits.
