FLP — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoFLP (MYB124, FLP) on cauliflower chromosome 8 encodes a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor with protein-binding capacity, localised to the nucleus. It is associated with stomatal complex formation, guard mother cell division and differentiation, leaf pavement cell development, and regulation of stomatal complex patterning. The gene is linked to lateral root development, primary root development, auxin polar transport, root gravitropism, and response to gravity. It has been connected to multicellular organismal water homeostasis, activation of salinity response, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. Additional associations include shoot regeneration, embryo sac development, regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition, and regulation of DNA re-duplication. Related genes in other species are linked to stomatal development, megasporogenesis, and ovule development.
