BOLC102_C02P004600.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C02P004600.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a protein with MADS-box and K-box domains, with RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding and protein dimerization activities. The gene is associated with floral organ identity, including specification of ovule, carpel and stamen identity, floral whorl morphogenesis and meristem determinacy. It is also linked to seed growth, shoot morphogenesis, cell dedifferentiation, vitamin anabolism, carotenoid metabolism, chlorophyll content, flower and petal color, and self-incompatibility. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to days to flowering trait.
