ELG — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoELG (ELG, also known as BoBAK1, BoSERK3) on cauliflower chromosome 7 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase domains, and is associated with GTPase inhibitor activity, channel regulator activity, guanylyl cyclase activity, peptide receptor activity, and NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity. The gene is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, anti-apoptosis, regulation of autophagy, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, carbohydrate homeostasis, and negative regulation of floral organ abscission. It is linked to grain yield, bacterial disease resistance including bacterial blight and spot, brassinosteroid content, lignin biosynthesis, phosphorus uptake, temperature stress response, plant male sterility, anther morphology, root meristem differentiation, root growth inhibition, cell expansion, and polar auxin transport. The protein localizes to the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, endosome, ER membrane, nucleolus, plastid, and plasmodesma. Related genes in other species are linked to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, organ size, and sugar signal transduction.
