ARL — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoARL, encoded by the gene BOLND125_C03P029880.1 on chromosome 3 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), belongs to the ARGOS/ARL/OSR1 protein family. The gene is associated with the positive regulation of organ growth, organ growth, upregulation of cell proliferation, multidimensional cell growth, cellular response to auxin stimulus, response to brassinosteroid, and brassinosteroid-mediated signalling. It has been linked to ethylene sensitivity and brassinosteroid response. The encoded protein is localised to the protoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, mitochondria, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to organ size, flower size, cell expansion, root growth, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, stem size, leaf size, root thickness, and photochemical quenching.
