EDT1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoEDT1 (BOLND125_C06P037480.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 6 encodes a homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip IV) transcription factor with a START domain and lipid-binding activity, localised to the nucleus. It is associated with DNA-dependent transcription, cell differentiation, and plant-type cell wall loosening. The gene has been connected to root length, lateral root formation, trichome branching, embryo development, cell polarization, radial axis formation, and drought resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to enhanced drought tolerance, improved water use efficiency, salt tolerance, increased root development, altered stomatal density, and yield improvements. Additional associations from related species include specific leaf area, root weight, grain yield, sugar and proline content, biomass yield, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and trichome morphology traits.
