BOLC102_C03P020470.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C03P020470.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and protein dimerization activities. The gene is associated with floral organ identity, including specification of ovule, carpel and stamen identity, floral whorl morphogenesis, and meristem determinacy. It has been linked to flower and petal color, self-incompatibility, chlorophyll content, and organ identity. Additional associations include vitamin anabolism, carotenoid metabolism, cell dedifferentiation, seed growth, shoot morphogenesis, integument development, and virus-induced PTGS. The protein localises to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to meristem identity and plant height.
