PMEI — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPMEI, encoded by gene BOLC102_C05P007430.1 on cabbage chromosome 5, is a pectinesterase inhibitor belonging to the PCW enzyme inhibitor family. The gene product possesses pectinesterase inhibitor and enzyme inhibitor activities, and is associated with downregulation of enzyme activity, pollen tube growth, and pollen development. The gene has been linked to pectin methylesterase inhibition and fungal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root morphology traits, root length, and proline content.
