CRB — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCRB (BOLC102_C05P007400.1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a protein with an epimerase/dehydratase domain and NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily, and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA binding, and heteroglycan binding. It is associated with plastid translation, rRNA processing, chloroplast organization, and responses to light intensity, drought, and photoperiod. The gene is linked to flowering time, photomorphogenesis, stomatal movement, and circadian clock entrainment. Associations include leaf drying, starch mobilization, seed viability, chloroplast development, photosystem II efficiency, and photosynthetic electron transport. It is also connected to hybrid incompatibility, photoperiod-sensitive flowering, seedling hypocotyl length, leaf senescence, and plant growth and development traits. The protein localizes to plastid nucleoids, thylakoids, stromules, and the chloroplast envelope. Related genes in other species link the family to plastid gene expression and RNA processing.
