FUS3 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoFUS3 (BOLND125_C02P065950.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 2 encodes a LEC2-like B3 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with protein kinase activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is associated with the regulation of embryonic development, seed dormancy, fruit development, and vegetative phase change. The gene is linked to positive regulation of abscisic acid anabolism, negative regulation of gibberellin biosynthetic process, and sugar-mediated signalling. Associations include seed yield, drought tolerance, submergence tolerance, high temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, leaf curling, stem senescence, flowering time, root development, and cotyledon morphology. It is also connected to starch metabolism, xylem development, primary root development, and detection of nutrient. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed development, seed maturation, somatic embryogenesis, triacylglycerol accumulation, and glucose signaling.
