GRF2 (BOLC102_C06P034390.1_BOLC102_V1) — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGRF2 (GRF2) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with a wide array of molecular functions including ion transporter activity, (R)-limonene synthase activity, and aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity, among many others. It has been linked to biological processes such as response to cobalt ion, regulation of ethylene biosynthetic process, and activation of syringal lignin anabolism. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include fruit yield, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry weight, seed coat hardness, zinc content, and potassium content. The gene is also connected to phenotypes such as senescence and cell size. Studies of related genes in other species link the 14-3-3 family to virus response, ethylene sensitivity, and metal homeostasis.
