GAZ — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoGAZ (GAZ) on cauliflower chromosome 7 encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity and is localised to the nucleus. It is associated with root radial pattern formation, response to salt, salinity response, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene has been linked to the SALTTL trait and to phenotypes including galactose metabolism and a complex of short root, reduced aerial growth, serrated asymmetric leaves, and fasciated stem. Related genes in other species connect the family to phosphate starvation response and insect resistance, while sequence similarity links extend to photochemical quenching and insect damage response traits.
