RTY — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoRTY, encoded by gene BOLC102_C07P000390.1 on cabbage chromosome 7, is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase with S-alkylthiohydroximate lyase, carbon-sulfur lyase, nicotianamine aminotransferase, and L-tyrosine-2-oxoglutarate transaminase activities. It is associated with IAA biosynthetic process, tyrosine breakdown, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, glucosinolate anabolism, adventitious root development, defence response to fungi, and regulation of growth by external signal. The gene is linked to auxin accumulation, auxin overproduction, auxin biosynthesis, lateral root development, hypocotyl elongation, shoot growth, apical hook formation, ethylene insensitivity, powdery mildew resistance, and glucosinolate biosynthesis. It localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to adventitious root number, shoot growth angle, drought tolerance, water use efficiency, seed dormancy, and wheat powdery mildew disease response.
