ACS2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoACS2 (BOLC102_C05P000570.1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase with transaminase activity, belonging to the ethylene-sulfur biosynthesis domain family. The gene is associated with ethylene production and biosynthesis, including wounding-induced and cadmium-stress ethylene production. It has been linked to fruit ripening, seed germination, seed dormancy, leaf senescence, and leaf growth and development traits. Associations with stress responses include cold acclimation, response to freezing, hypoxia response, waterlogging stress tolerance, salt stress tolerance, cadmium tolerance, iron deficiency response, and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Verticillium wilt. The gene is also connected to pistil morphology trait, signal transduction, and cellular responses to nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium starvation. The encoded protein localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the cytosol, plastid, mitochondria, and plasmodesma.
