ELIP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoELIP (BOLC102_C03P056010.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein belonging to the Chloroa_b-bind family, which is associated with chloroplast and thylakoid membranes. The gene is linked to responses to far-red, red, blue, and UV-A light, as well as high light intensity and heat. It has been connected to the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis, chlorophyll breakdown, photoprotection, seed germination, and NO storage. Associations include leaf temperature, chlorophyll content, photoinhibition tolerance, photosystem II activity, zeaxanthin accumulation, and heat stress response. Related genes in other species link the family to starch content, seed growth traits, photochemical and non-photochemical quenching, and tolerance to light stress and photooxidative stress.
