CLA — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoCLA (BoDXPS2, BoDXS1) on cauliflower chromosome 1 encodes a protein with DXP-synthase activity and a transketolase-like domain. The gene is associated with the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, carotenoid and isoprenoid biosynthesis, and regulation of photosynthesis. It has been linked to chloroplast development, plastid differentiation, and shoot system growth. Associations include seed yield, embryo development, and responses to high temperature and carbon starvation. The gene is connected to phenotypes such as arrested growth at the cotyledon stage with whitish leaves, reduced silique length and seed set, and altered sugar content under cold treatment. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast differentiation, photosynthesis rate, carotenoid accumulation, and disease resistance.
