MEX1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoMEX1 (BOLND125_C09P063510.1) on cauliflower chromosome 9 encodes a protein of the MEX1/MEX1-like family, localised to the chloroplast inner membrane and envelope. The gene is associated with maltose porter activity, maltose metabolism, starch breakdown, carbohydrate metabolism, response to gravity, cell communication, multicellular organism development, and response to nematode. It has been linked to leaf chlorophyll content, starch mobilization, and chlorophyll content, as well as phenotypes including maltose transport, maltose excess, chlorosis with starch degradation defects, cold acclimation, starch metabolism, plant growth, frost tolerance, and plant development. Related genes in other species connect the family to starch degradation and pale, maltose-excess phenotypes.
