GRF9 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoGRF9 (BOLND125_C03P028770.1_BOLND125_V1) on chromosome 3 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein with annotated NADH:nitrate reductase activity, Mo ion binding, FAD binding, and protein phosphorylated amino acid binding. It is associated with responses to abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, salicylate, wounding, light, hypoxia, osmotic stress, salinity, and bacteria, as well as brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, nitric oxide anabolism, root development, and post-embryonic root development. The gene is linked to traits including nitrate transport and sensitivity, seed size, flowering time, oleic acid content, herbicide sensitivity, disease tolerance, stomatal closure, and freezing tolerance. It localises to the nucleus, cytosol, plasma membrane, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, Golgi, and vacuole. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lateral root development, salt stress resistance, nitrogen use efficiency, and gravitropic response.
