D11 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaD11 (T459_26431) on pepper chromosome 10 encodes a protein with a TGA domain and a bZIP domain, annotated with salicylic acid binding, calmodulin binding, disulfide oxidoreductase activity, and transcription coactivator activity. It is associated with regulation of systemic acquired resistance, defence response to bacteria, salicylic acid and nitric oxide anabolism, response to photooxidative stress and superoxide, and bract, petal, stamen and nectary development. The gene is linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, drought sensitivity, nitrogen and nitrate sensitivity, seed set percent, plant male sterility, stamen and anther morphology, lignin biosynthesis, and whole plant size. It localises to the nucleus, cytosol, plasmalemma, mitochondria and extracellular region, and participates in hormone signalling and metabolism pathways.
