DP1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoDP1 (DP1, DIR14) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a dirigent protein, a member of the dirigent/allene oxide cyclase family, with annotated dirigent protein activity. The gene is associated with lignan anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, defense response, response to wounding, response to jasmonic acid, response to UV, calcium signaling, metabolic burst, DNA replication, and cell cycle processes. The product localizes to the apoplast and extracellular space. BoDP1 has been connected to ash content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed size and seeds lacking putative neolignans.
