ETR — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoETR (BOLC102_C06P043830.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes an ethylene receptor with histidine kinase activity, dual-specificity protein kinase activity, and ethene binding. The gene is associated with detection of ethylene stimulus, ethylene-mediated signaling, jasmonic acid/ethylene-dependent systemic resistance, and regulation of stem cell renewal, post-embryonic root development, and seedling development. It is linked to seed yield, days to flowering, leaf morphology, stem elongation, anther morphology, trichome morphology, stomatal resistance, photosynthetic ability, leaf carbon content, water stress response, high temperature stress response, aphid and insect damage response, aluminum response, herbicide sensitivity, anthocyanin content, auxin content, iron concentration, lignin biosynthesis, and nitrate transport. The product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, plastid, plasmodesma, and Golgi complex. Related genes in other species are linked to ethylene signal transduction, flower senescence, and disease resistance to Pseudomonas syringae.
