ELG (BOLC102_C03P093000.1_BOLC102_V1) — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoELG (BOLC102_C03P093000.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase catalytic domains, associated with GTPase inhibitor, guanylyl cyclase, and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding activities. This gene is linked to immune response-regulating signaling pathways, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, carbohydrate homeostasis, and negative regulation of floral organ abscission. It is associated with grain yield, bacterial disease resistance, brassinosteroid content, shoot growth angle, lignin biosynthesis, phosphorus uptake, temperature stress response, and plant male sterility. Localisation evidence places the product at the endosome, ER, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, oxidative burst, organ size, and sugar signal transduction.
