PIP2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPIP2 (BOLC102_C04P011440.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a member of the aquaporin family, possessing water channel activity, phospholipase D activity, and protein kinase activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including glucosinolate transport and breakdown, hydrogen peroxide membrane transport, phosphatidic acid metabolism, response to desiccation, brassinosteroid response, circadian regulation of gene expression, and regulation of stomatal closure. It localizes to the plasma membrane, plasmodesmata, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and vacuole. BoPIP2 is linked to traits such as photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, root hair length, flowering time, cadmium concentration, cellulose content, and responses to salt, drought, freezing, and low temperature stress. It is also connected to disease responses including downy mildew, powdery mildew, and bacterial resistance, as well as programmed cell death and immunity.
