CP5 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoCP5, located on chromosome 9 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), encodes a protein containing a START lipid transfer domain and is associated with kinase activity, protein binding, and lipid binding. This gene is linked to procambium histogenesis, phloem or xylem histogenesis, and response to virus. It has been connected to vacuolar, mitochondrial, and plasma membrane localisation. BoCP5 is associated with plant stress response traits, including high and low temperature stress responses, heat and cold stress tolerance, and temperature stress tolerance. It is also linked to short stature, anthocyanin accumulation, reduced apical dominance, and pollen development. Related genes in other species link the family to protein content and root morphology traits.
