FUL — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoFUL (BOLND125_C09P008060.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 9 encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and protein dimerization activities. This gene is associated with the maintenance of inflorescence and floral meristem identity, fruit development, and positive regulation of transcription. It has been linked to numerous agronomically important traits including flowering time, fruit yield, seed yield, leaf number, and flower, petal, sepal, carpel, and stamen morphology. Associations also include fruit shattering, silique dehiscence, drought tolerance, inflorescence architecture, meristem determinacy, and secondary growth. Related genes in other species are linked to floral development, petal and sepal identity, fruit shape, pod shatter resistance, seed yield, and plant life span.
