PPT — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoPPT (BOLND125_C05P065020.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 5 encodes a phosphopantetheinyltransferase, a member of the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase superfamily. The enzyme is associated with protein phosphopantetheinylation, the shikimate pathway, secondary metabolism, and light absorption, and is localised to the mitochondria and cytosol. This gene is associated with embryogenesis, embryo development, and photorespiration, and with embryo lethality and arrest at the globular stage. Related genes in other species are linked to plant growth and development traits, including photochemical quenching and embryo development.
