PMEI — Brassica oleracea
Summary
BoPMEI (BOLC102_C05P007450.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, belonging to the PMEI_plant family and the pectinesterase inhibitor domain family. This gene is associated with pectin methylesterase inhibition and fungal resistance, as well as pollen tube growth and pollen development. The encoded product localises to the chloroplast (GO:0009507) and is linked to downregulation of enzyme activity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PMEI family to root length and proline content, though these associations are not yet established in cabbage.
