PDF1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoPDF1, encoded by gene BOLND125_C04P075880.1 on cauliflower chromosome 4, belongs to the Protodermal_1 family and contains a PDF1_C domain. The gene is associated with response to virus and has been linked to photosynthetic rate, protodermal development, and L1 layer-specific expression. Its product localises to the extracellular region and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to zinc tolerance, pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance, as well as to traits including net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf shape, seed dormancy, and disease tolerance.
