LEC1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoLEC1 (BOLND125_C05P022060.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a CCAAT-binding factor complex domain and NF-YB/HAP3 family domains, and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, chromatin binding, and protein heterodimerization activity. It is associated with regulation of seed germination, embryo development, seed maturation, and storage protein accumulation, as well as positive regulation of fatty acid anabolism and lipid metabolism. The gene is linked to photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, flower development, and blue light signaling, and to traits including starch and protein content, leaf chlorosis, abscisic acid sensitivity, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, and root and shoot apical meristem development. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to somatic embryogenesis, seed oil content, seed weight, fatty acid composition, seed dormancy, and pathogen resistance.
