GRF2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGRF2 (BOLC102_C07P067860.1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a growth-regulating factor (GRF) protein containing the QLQ and WRC domains and is annotated with transcription coactivator activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, ATP binding, and protein binding. This nuclear protein is associated with response to deep water, cell population proliferation, positive regulation of cell cycle, downregulation of cell proliferation, adaxial/abaxial pattern specification, developmental process, root meristem growth, seed development, regulation of gene expression, response to gibberellin, leaf development, cell division, root development, upregulation of transcription, DNA-dependent transcription, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. BoGRF2 is associated with ovary development, pistil morphology, plant cell size, gynoecium development, anther morphology, root oxidative activity, seed weight, water use efficiency, cotyledon morphology, leaf growth and development, floral organ development, leaf morphology, anthocyanin content, plant embryo development, organ identity, leaf composition, seedling growth and development, and seed growth and development traits. Related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, organ size, iron uptake, seed size, leaf cell proliferation, gametophore formation, leaf cell size, and anthocyanin biosynthesis.
