CA1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoCA1 (CA1) on cauliflower chromosome CBFFJS010000015.1 encodes a protein with carbonic anhydrase, peroxidase, salicylic acid-binding, and DNA-binding transcription factor activities, and contains homeodomain and carbonic anhydrase domains. The gene is associated with response to carbon dioxide, negative regulation of stomatal complex development, regulation of stomatal movement, cell redox homeostasis, heterotrophy, defence response to fungi, cold response, and DNA-dependent transcription. It is linked to phenotypes including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, immunity, light response, stomatal density and development, embryo and seed development, anther cell differentiation, mitochondrial complex I assembly, and protein abundance. The product localises to chloroplast thylakoid membrane, envelope, stroma, stromule, apoplast, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species are linked to disease resistance.
