BOLND125_C09P031780.1_BOLND125_V1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoRGA, on cauliflower chromosome 9, encodes a DELLA_N and GRAS family protein with transcriptional co-regulator activity, gibberellin binding, and phytochrome binding, among many annotated molecular functions. It is associated with regulation of gibberellic acid-mediated signalling, inflorescence meristem growth, floral organ morphogenesis, trichome spacing, and plant epidermal cell fate specification. The gene is linked to traits including flower number, fruit set, leaf area, leaf trichome density, root width, copper sensitivity, phenolic compound content, and total soluble sugar content. It has been connected to abiotic stress response, light sensitivity, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid homeostasis, and root development. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, heat tolerance, clubroot resistance, and seed number.
