CUM1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCUM1 (BOLC102_C07P054260.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a TIF_eIF4e-like family protein with RNA m7G cap binding and translation initiation factor activity. The gene is associated with responses to viruses, herbivores, fungi, bacteria, wounding, jasmonic acid, and photoperiodic flowering, as well as jasmonic acid anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, lipid oxidation, and circadian rhythm. It has been linked to traits including virus resistance, potexvirus infection, aphid response, insect damage response, disease tolerance, plant yield, root morphology, leaf senescence, stem senescence, stomatal complex closure time, UV-B light sensitivity, freezing tolerance, nitrogen use efficiency, and salt tolerance. The protein localises to the cytosol, plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, chloroplast envelope, nucleolus, P body, and stress granule. Related genes in other species are linked to jasmonate signaling, wound response, and green leaf volatile production.
