BOLC102_C09P038990.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C09P038990.1 on cabbage chromosome 9 encodes a protein with a bHLH domain and DNA-binding and protein dimerization activity, localised to the nucleus. This gene is associated with pigment accumulation, including anthocyanin, carotenoid, flavonoid and phenylpropanoid anabolism, as well as chlorophyll metabolism and breakdown. It is linked to leaf formation, trichome morphogenesis, regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, defense responses, and primary metabolic processes. Trait associations include seed color, seed coat color, leaf color, and anthocyanin content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed weight, seed size, protein content, and lignin content.
