ERS — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoERS (BOLC102_C04P000480.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a protein with dual-specificity protein kinase activity, histidine kinase activity, ethylene receptor activity, and anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase activity, containing ETR1_N, GAF, and histidine kinase domains. The gene is associated with ethylene metabolism and signaling, detection of ethylene stimulus, jasmonic acid/ethylene-dependent systemic resistance, cytokinin metabolism, hydrogen peroxide biosynthesis, tryptophan formation, and regulation of stem cell renewal, seedling development, and post-embryonic root development. It localizes to the chloroplast envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, mitochondria, and nucleus. BoERS is linked to seed yield, fruit ripening, leaf morphology, root development, seedling growth, stomatal resistance, temperature stress response, aphid response, aluminum response, herbicide sensitivity, anthocyanin content, and lateral root length. Related genes in other species are associated with ethylene signal transduction, fruit ripening, salinity tolerance, iron acquisition, and disease resistance.
