COR15 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoCOR15, located on chromosome 3 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), encodes a protein with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, transmembrane receptor protein kinase activity, and multiple binding functions including ATP, lipid, chitin, and galactose binding. The gene is associated with responses to freezing, high light intensity, drought recovery, heat acclimation, leaf senescence, and detection of bacterial and fungal molecules. It is linked to cold tolerance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, membrane protection, chloroplast membrane stability, and abscisic acid sensitivity. Associations also include bacterial blight disease resistance, chlorophyll content, stomatal closure, and pathogen defense. The protein localizes to the chloroplast envelope and stroma, plasma membrane, cytosol, and extracellular regions. Related genes in other species are linked to freezing tolerance, chilling tolerance, salt stress tolerance, and disease resistance.
