YAP169 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnYAP169 (YAP169) on chromosome C09 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom domain, and is annotated with gibberellin 20-oxidase activity, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, and several other enzyme activities. The gene is associated with gibberellin biosynthesis and metabolism, root system development, geotropism, regulation of growth, response to flooding, defense response to oomycetes, and flavonoid and morphine anabolism. It has been linked to flowering time, floral transition, seed germination, plant growth, fertility, fruit length, salt stress tolerance, branch angle, petiole length, leaf shape, and leaf size. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to dwarfism, late flowering, germination defects, seed dormancy, and salt tolerance.
