MTN3 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoMTN3 (BOLC102_C01P033650.1) on cabbage chromosome 1 encodes a SWEET family protein with sucrose permease activity and sugar transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with carbohydrate and sucrose transport, protein homooligomerization, and membrane localization at the plasmalemma and extracellular regions. It has been linked to seed maturation, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, anther dehiscence, pollen development, and flower development. Associations also include stem elongation, sugar transport and accumulation, carbon allocation, nitrogen remobilization and use efficiency, root growth under salt stress, vascular cell wall composition, plant growth, salicylic acid-mediated defense response, disease resistance and susceptibility, root apical meristem activity, assimilate translocation, sucrose unloading from phloem, and seed development.
