GRF2 (BOLC102_C02P039810.1_BOLC102_V1) — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGRF2 (GRF2) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with numerous molecular functions including ion transporter activity, aromatase activity, and pantothenate kinase activity, as well as processes such as regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, response to cobalt ion, and cellular response to boron starvation. It has been linked to traits including fruit yield, leaf chlorophyll content, zinc and potassium content, seed coat hardness, and plant dry weight. The gene is also connected to phenotypes such as senescence, iron-deficiency response, and resistance to Fusarium graminearum. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pathogen response, metal homeostasis, and phosphate starvation response.
