GT — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGT (BOLC102_C04P005070.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with salicylic acid glucosyltransferase activity, including both ester-forming and glucoside-forming activities, as well as activity toward benzoate, nicotinate, indole-3-acetate, quercetin, and steviol compounds. The gene is associated with salicylic acid metabolism, benzoate metabolism, terpenoid and carotenoid biosynthesis, detoxification, seed germination, embryogenesis, cell division, and responses to salt, heat, and fungal molecules. It is linked to flavonoid glycosylation, innate immunity, pathogen response, bacterial pathogen resistance, nematode susceptibility, and seedling growth. The protein localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to disease resistance, salt tolerance, seed germination under stress, and serine glycosylation.
