AL2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoAL2 (BOLC102_C01P059480.1) on cabbage chromosome 1 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator with histone-binding and transcription cis-regulatory region-binding activities, featuring PHD and Alfin domains. The gene is associated with maintenance of inflorescence, floral, and shoot apical meristem identity, as well as cell fate determination, root hair elongation, root development, and the vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition. It is linked to flowering time, seed growth and development, carpel morphology, hypocotyl morphology, root morphology, and responses to abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, phosphate starvation, and stress. Localization evidence connects the product to the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and PRC1 complex. Related genes in other species are linked to seed germination, dormancy, thermoinhibition, phosphate homeostasis, and root hair formation under phosphate deficiency.
