BRL1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_19695 (BRL1, also known as LRR1 or CaLRR1) on pepper chromosome 7 encodes a protein kinase domain-containing protein with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, coreceptor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, and signaling receptor activity. It is associated with detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, regulation of defence response to fungi, upregulation of innate immune response, cell death, spore germination, megasporogenesis, microsporogenesis, anther wall tapetum development, somatic embryogenesis, skotomorphogenesis, seedling development, post-embryonic development, regulation of growth, secretion, microtubule bundling, virus-induced PTGS, and response to other organisms. The gene is linked to disease tolerance, salt tolerance, and pathogen resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid perception and immune signaling.
