LEC1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoLEC1 (BOLC102_C05P021170.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a CCAAT-binding factor NF-YB/HAP3 family transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and chromatin-binding activities. This gene is associated with the regulation of seed development, embryo maturation, and storage protein accumulation, as well as fatty acid and lipid metabolism, photomorphogenesis, and flowering time responses. It has been linked to traits including seed growth, starch and protein content, leaf chlorosis, abscisic acid sensitivity, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, and root and hypocotyl morphology. Related genes in other species are linked to somatic embryogenesis, seed dormancy, oil content, fatty acid composition, seed weight, pathogen resistance, and flowering time.
