BOLC102_C05P005990.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C05P005990.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a haem peroxidase with L-ascorbate peroxidase activity, belonging to the Ccp1-like peroxidase family. The gene is associated with ascorbate metabolism, chlorophyll metabolism and breakdown, melatonin anabolism, cellular response to oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide catabolism, leaf senescence, seed germination, defense response, and signal transduction. It has been linked to traits including canopy temperature, shoot dry weight, stem diameter, drought sensitivity and tolerance, chlorophyll content, root length, plant height, oxidative stress response, and salt tolerance. The encoded protein localises to the peroxisome membrane, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, chloroplast stroma, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link this gene family to ascorbate peroxidase function (EC 1.11.1.11).
