PPT — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoPPT (BOLND125_C05P060100.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 5 encodes a phosphopantetheinyltransferase, a member of the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase superfamily. The gene is associated with protein phosphopantetheinylation, the shikimate pathway, secondary metabolism, and light absorption. Its product localises to mitochondria, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Annotated phenotypes link BoPPT to embryogenesis, embryo development, and photorespiration, with embryo lethality and arrest at the globular stage reported. Related genes in other species are linked to plant growth and development traits, including photochemical quenching.
