GATA3 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoGATA3 (BOLND125_C01P004390.1) on cauliflower chromosome 1 encodes a GATA transcription factor with a Znf_GATA domain and sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. The gene is associated with floral organ development, regulation of the vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition, flower development, circadian rhythm, and DNA-dependent transcription. Its product localises to the nucleus and nucleolus. Related genes in other species link the GATA transcription factor family to similar developmental and circadian processes, though these associations are not yet established in cauliflower.
