ABI3 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoABI3 (BOLC102_C03P057910.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain protein of the LEC2-like family with phytochrome binding, Hsp90 binding, transcription coactivator activity, and sequence-specific DNA binding. It is associated with positive regulation of seed maturation, cellular response to gibberellin stimulus, petal morphogenesis, and regulation of triglyceride catabolic process. The gene is linked to seed width and length, seedling vigor, vegetative vigor, petal length, leaf color, trichome density, water stress response, photoperiod sensitivity, cadmium concentration, phosphorus uptake, and male sterility. Related genes in other species are associated with seed development, abscisic acid sensitivity, drought tolerance, seed longevity, desiccation tolerance, oil accumulation, and resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans.
