ARL — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoARL (BOLND125_C04P005170.1) on cauliflower chromosome 4 encodes a member of the ARGOS/ARL/OSR1 protein family. The gene is associated with 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. Its product localises to the protoplasm, ER, membrane, mitochondria, and nucleus. BoARL is linked to ethylene sensitivity and brassinosteroid response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to organ size, cell expansion, root growth, flower size, leaf size, stem size, root thickness, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, and stress response.
