CRR3 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCRR3 (CRR3) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a protein with protein-binding activity. The gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem I and is linked to the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex of the plastoquinone pool, localising to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, plasmodesmata, membrane and cytosol. It has been connected to regulation of amino acid metabolism, systemic acquired resistance and response to cytokinin. Observed associations include NDH complex accumulation and assembly, as well as traits such as seed coat morphology, cytokinin sensitivity, lateral root length, cell cycle, root development and plant growth. Related genes in other species are linked to NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex accumulation, growth, ovule integument development, cell division, cell differentiation, root development, giant cell identity, embryogenesis, embryo morphogenesis, columella stem cell identity, root stem cell population, and integument and seed coat development.
