TTG — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoTTG (BOLND125_C02P073120.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 2 encodes a DCAF7-like protein with DNA binding transcription factor activity, protein kinase activity, and protein dimerization activity, and is annotated as a protein folding chaperone. This gene is associated with the regulation of epidermal cell division, trichome morphogenesis and spacing, root hair cell differentiation, cell fate specification, and pigmentation. It is linked to the positive regulation of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, flavonoid metabolism, and the inhibition of brassinosteroid-mediated signalling. BoTTG has been connected to seed color, seed weight, leaf trichome density, root hair density and length, anthocyanin and flavonoid content, iron concentration, brassinosteroid content and sensitivity, auxin sensitivity, ethylene sensitivity, high and low temperature stress responses, biotic stress responses, and vegetative to reproductive phase transition. The protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasmalemma, vacuole, vesicle, and plasmodesmata.
