RUBY — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoRUBY, encoded by gene BOLND125_C08P030720.1_BOLND125_V1 on cauliflower chromosome 8, is a member of the glyoxal oxidase family, containing galactose oxidase and aldehyde oxidase activity domains. The gene is associated with cell wall modification, mucilage extrusion from the seed coat, regeneration, and defence response to fungi. Its product localises to the plant-type cell wall, extracellular region, and cytoplasm. BoRUBY is linked to several seed coat mucilage phenotypes, including suppressed mucilage defects, abnormal seed coat structure, and enhanced mucilage extrusion, as well as detached epidermal cells. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cell-to-cell adhesion, pectin composition and cross-linking, and seed coat cell detachment with mucilage extrusion.
