DFR1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoDFR1 (BOLC102_C02P009490.1) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a protein of the DFR1 family. The gene is associated with anthocyanin anabolism and virus-induced PTGS, and its product is annotated to the molecular function and biological process GO:2000214. BoDFR1 localises to both mitochondria and the nucleus. It has been linked to leaf colour, drought tolerance, freezing tolerance, and decreased salt tolerance and increased cold tolerance phenotypes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the DFR1 family to sensitivity to drought and cold stress, salt response, and low-temperature stress response, as well as an embryo-lethal phenotype.
