OR — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoOR (BOLND125_C09P008410.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 9 encodes a protein with Orange-like N, mid, and C domains and possesses PSase activity and protein binding capability. This gene is associated with carotenoid and carotene anabolism, upregulation of carotenoid anabolism, chromoplast and chloroplast organization, protein stabilization, de-etiolation, polar cell growth, and response to light stimulus. It localizes to the plastid, chloroplast membrane, plastoglobule, cytoplasm, and nucleus. BoOR is linked to alpha carotene and abscisic acid content, plastid development, seed growth and development, carotenoid accumulation and content, chlorophyll accumulation and biosynthesis, photosynthetic development, salt stress response, and abscisic acid biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flowering time, thermotolerance, leaf virescence, fruit development, and provitamin A carotenoid content.
