ELF8 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoELF8, also known as ZIF1, VIP6, or NRF2, encodes a protein with potassium ion antiporter activity and poly-A and poly-U binding capabilities, belonging to the RBM42_RBP45_47-like and RRM domain families. In cauliflower, it is associated with diverse processes including vernalization response, basipetal auxin transport, cellular zinc ion homeostasis, autophagy, PTGS, and upregulation of wax anabolism. The gene is linked to flowering time, flower morphology, phyllotaxy, meristem development, and inflorescence number traits. It localizes to the tonoplast, Paf1 complex, stress granules, and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Phenotypic associations include early flowering with floral defects, altered auxin transport, zinc and cesium homeostasis, and seed dormancy. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flowering regulation, histone modification redistribution, and organ shape robustness.
