ELG — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoELG (BOLND125_C01P005490.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 1 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase catalytic domains. The protein is associated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding, GTPase inhibitor activity, guanylyl cyclase activity, and peptide receptor activity. BoELG is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, anti-apoptosis, regulation of autophagy, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, and carbohydrate homeostasis. It localizes to the endosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmodesmata. The gene is linked to grain yield, bacterial disease resistance, brassinosteroid content, shoot growth angle, lignin biosynthesis, phosphorus uptake, temperature stress response, and plant male sterility. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, organ size regulation, and sugar signal transduction.
