RLK — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoRLK (BOLC102_C07P028040.1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with protein kinase activity, ATP binding, and signaling receptor activity, belonging to the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like kinase family. This gene is associated with post-embryonic plant organ development, floral organ development and specification of floral organ number, regulation of meristem organization and floral meristem size, gametophyte and embryo sac development, ovule development, stomatal complex morphogenesis and its regulation, calcium signaling, hormone-mediated signaling, response to other organisms, glucosinolate and amino acid anabolism, and homeostasis. It is also linked to upregulation of response to thirst. The protein localizes to the membrane, plasma membrane, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species are linked to low nitrogen stress tolerance, immunity, and signal transduction, and are associated with plant height, root length, stem elongation, stomatal resistance, and drought tolerance.
