RTY — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoRTY (BOLC102_C07P000420.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase with S-alkylthiohydroximate lyase, carbon-sulfur lyase, nicotianamine aminotransferase, and L-tyrosine-2-oxoglutarate transaminase activities. The gene is associated with auxin (IAA) biosynthesis and accumulation, glucosinolate biosynthesis, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, tyrosine breakdown, and defence response to fungi. It has been linked to multiple developmental processes including adventitious root development, lateral root formation, apical hook formation, hypocotyl elongation, shoot growth, and root development. Phenotypic associations include auxin overproduction, ethylene insensitivity, epinastic cotyledons, and powdery mildew resistance. The protein localises to mitochondria, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, water use efficiency, seed dormancy, and wheat powdery mildew disease response.
