TTG — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoTTG (BOLND125_C02P073100.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 2 encodes a protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein kinase activity, and protein folding chaperone functions, and it is associated with protein dimerization and identical protein binding. This gene is linked to the regulation of epidermal cell division, trichome morphogenesis and spacing, root hair differentiation, and cell fate specification in the plant epidermis. It is associated with flavonoid, proanthocyanidin, and anthocyanin anabolism, as well as pigmentation and seed color. Associations extend to traits including leaf trichome density, root hair density and length, seed weight, seed coat color and morphology, iron concentration, brassinosteroid content and sensitivity, anthocyanin content, and responses to high and low temperature stress, biotic stress, and insect damage. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, plasmalemma, vacuole, vesicle, plasmodesma, cell cortex, and root hair.
