ABI4 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoABI4 (BOLND125_C04P007560.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 4 encodes a protein with an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain, capable of sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and protein complex binding. This gene is associated with numerous biological processes including regulation of triglyceride catabolic process, hexokinase-dependent signaling, retrograde response, plastid organization, cuticle anabolism, and actin cytoskeleton organization. It localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, plasmalemma, and endoplasmic reticulum. BoABI4 is linked to agronomically important traits such as yield, seed protein content, seed color, flowering time, disease tolerance, low temperature and oxidative stress responses, lateral root number and length, root thickness, petal morphology, and anthocyanin content. Associations also include drought tolerance, ABA sensitivity, sugar signaling, germination, embryogenesis, and cadmium accumulation.
