REM1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoREM1, located on chromosome 8 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), encodes a REM16-like protein containing a B3 DNA-binding domain and a T-SNARE domain. The gene is annotated for DNA binding and DNA-dependent transcription, and its product localises to the nucleus. BoREM1 is associated with meristem identity. Studies of related genes in other species link the REM1 family to transcriptional regulation, though this specific role is not yet established in cauliflower.
