BOLC102_C06P057380.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGRF2 (BOLC102_C06P057380.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein, a member of the conserved 14-3-3 family. The gene is associated with a wide array of molecular functions, including ion transporter activity, and numerous biological processes such as regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, response to cobalt ion, and cellular response to boron starvation. It has been linked to diverse agronomic traits including fruit yield, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry weight, seed coat hardness, zinc and potassium content, starch grain size, and vegetative vigor. Associations with senescence and iron-deficiency response have also been noted. Studies of related genes in other species connect the 14-3-3 family to pathogen response, ethylene sensitivity, metal homeostasis, and phosphate starvation response.
