RGA (BOLC102_C07P036460.1_BOLC102_V1) — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoRGA (BOLC102_C07P036460.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a protein with a DELLA_N superfamily domain, a GRAS transcription factor domain, and a DELLA_N domain. The product is associated with gibberellin binding, phytochrome binding, transcriptional co-regulator activity, and numerous other molecular functions. BoRGA is linked to light detection, shade avoidance, gibberellic acid signalling, trichome morphogenesis, floral organ development, and many other biological processes. It is associated with traits including flower number, fruit set and quality, leaf area, root width, shoot elongation under submergence, total soluble sugar and flavonoid content, copper sensitivity, and nematode damage response. It localizes to the nucleus, plastid, plasmodesma, and complexes such as SCF and SWI-SNF. Related genes in other species link the DELLA family to drought tolerance, heat tolerance, clubroot resistance, seed number, and fruit length.
