CRC — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCRC (BOLC102_C01P011780.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 1 encodes a protein with seed storage domains (11S_seedstore_CS, 11S_seedstore_pln, Cupin 1) and is annotated with nutrient reservoir activity and binding capabilities for IgG, IgE, and ATP. This gene is associated with seed development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, protein homotrimerization, abscisic acid anabolism and response, xanthophyll metabolism, photoprotection, and regulation of superoxide release. Localization evidence links the product to the endosperm protein body, rough endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast envelope and stroma, LHCII, and plasmodesmata. Associations with violaxanthin and neoxanthin content, abscisic acid concentration, root morphology, seed storage protein accumulation, and plant growth have been noted. Related genes in other species are linked to neoxanthin synthesis and abscisic acid biosynthesis.
