G7 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoG7 (G7, BOLC102_C03P092800.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein containing FAR_C and NAD(P)-binding domains and is annotated with alcohol-forming long-chain fatty acyl-CoA reductase activity. This gene is associated with long-chain fatty acyl-CoA metabolism, suberin biosynthetic process, and wax anabolism, and its product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum. BoG7 is associated with primary alcohol synthesis, cuticular and epicuticular wax biosynthesis and composition, and proline content. Related genes in other species are linked to wax biosynthesis, bright green stems with reduced epicuticular wax, glossy stems, primary alcohol content, linoleic and oleic acid content, and drought tolerance.
