LPP1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoLPP1, also known as BoATPAP1 or BoPAP1, encodes a protein with phosphatidate phosphatase activity and belongs to the PAP-like, PAP2/HPO and PAP2/HPO_sf families. This cauliflower gene on chromosome 9 is associated with phospholipid metabolism, pigmentation, regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, regeneration, and responses to UV-B, cold, hypoxia, and viruses. It is linked to plasmodesma-mediated cell-to-cell transport, viral spread within multicellular hosts, and localisation to the plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, plasma membrane, and extracellular region. The gene is associated with anthocyanin content, disease tolerance, disease resistance, systemic acquired acclimation, callose deposition, immune response, antiviral defense, and cell-to-cell transport. Related genes in other species are linked to anthocyanin accumulation, flavonoid content, phenolic acid content, and antioxidant capacity.
