PDF1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPDF1, located on chromosome 4 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea), encodes a protein belonging to the protodermal-1 family, characterized by a PDF1_C domain. This gene is associated with a range of biological processes, including defense responses, jasmonic acid and auxin signaling, cell death, glucosinolate and indole glucosinolate anabolism, sulfation, quorum sensing, and egg deposition/oviposition. It is linked to extracellular and nuclear localization, as well as to photosynthetic rate and protodermal development with L1 layer-specific expression. Related genes in other species are linked to traits such as pathogen and disease resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, seed dormancy, leaf shape, and zinc sensitivity, as well as to net photosynthetic and transpiration rates.
