ESP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoESP (BOLC102_C06P011430.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with Kelch-type beta-propeller domains and multiple annotated molecular functions, including lyase activity, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, and tRNA methyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with glucosinolate metabolism and breakdown, nitrile biosynthetic processes, thiocyanate metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. It is linked to responses to jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteria, as well as regulation of defense responses and jasmonic acid-mediated signaling. Associations with agronomic traits include leaf and stem senescence, flowering time, chlorophyll content, stomatal resistance, drought tolerance, and disease tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to glucosinolate hydrolysis to nitriles, herbivory resistance, and salicylic acid response.
