BOLND125_C08P052200.1_BOLND125_V1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoSVP (BOLND125_C08P052200.1) on cauliflower chromosome 8 encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding activity, protein dimerization activity, and chromatin binding. It is associated with the negative regulation of seed maturation, maintenance of inflorescence and floral meristem identity, floral whorl development, fruit abscission and dehiscence, photoperiodism, and gibberellin catabolism. The gene has been connected to numerous traits including days to flowering, photoperiod sensitivity, vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition, leaf number, seed yield, fruit number, floral organ morphology, sulfur content, and responses to aphids and temperature stress. It is also linked to salt stress tolerance, stomatal development, thermosensitive flowering, and pathogen resistance. Related genes in other species are associated with flowering time regulation, floral meristem determination, circadian clock regulation, and biomass yield.
