PIP1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPIP1 (BOLC102_C07P061380.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a protein with protein-binding activity. The gene is associated with water transport, pollen hydration, regulation of root development, and immune response, including innate immunity and defence response to bacteria. It localises to the apoplast and extracellular regions. BoPIP1 is associated with drought recovery and root hydraulic conductivity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to leaf water potential, turgor pressure, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, root length, and stomatal immunity.
