TTG — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoTTG, encoded by gene BOLC102_C02P067040.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 2, is a DCAF7-like protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein kinase activity, and protein dimerization activity. It is associated with the regulation of epidermal cell division, trichome morphogenesis and spacing, root hair cell differentiation, and cell fate specification. The gene is linked to the regulation of flavonoid, proanthocyanidin, and anthocyanin anabolism, as well as pigmentation and seed coat color. Associations extend to leaf trichome density, root hair density and length, seed weight, seed color, and responses to biotic stress, high temperature, and brassinosteroid signaling. Localization evidence connects the product to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasmalemma, vacuole, and root hair. Related genes in other species link the family to trichome and root hair development, seed coat pigmentation, and anthocyanin accumulation.
