PEL2 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoPEL2 (BOLND125_C08P014340.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 8 encodes a Pelota domain-containing protein, a member of the eRF1 family. The protein is predicted to localise to the nucleus and has been annotated with protein binding activity. In this species, BoPEL2 is associated with the biological processes of no-go decay and non-stop decay, as well as hypersensitivity and nitric oxide storage. Studies of related genes in other species link the Pelota family to chlorophyll content. The gene is also related to PEL2 sequences in other Brassica species.
