GSL-OH — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoGSL-OH (GSL-OH) on cauliflower chromosome 4 encodes a protein belonging to the DIOX_N and IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase domain family, with annotated 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity and 3-butenylglucosinolate 2-hydroxylase activity. The gene is associated with regulation of glucosinolate biosynthetic process, glucosinolate anabolism, coumarin anabolism, ethylene anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, alkaloid metabolism, response to iron(III), defense response to oomycetes, response to fungi, response to molecule of fungal origin, and fruit ripening. It is linked to insect resistance and 2-hydroxybut-3-enyl glucosinolate accumulation. The product localises to the cytosol, nucleus, vacuole, plasmodesma and stress granule. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, cytokinin content and salt tolerance.
