BRI1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400017943, the potato BRI1 gene on chromosome 00, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase with coreceptor activity, steroid binding, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. It belongs to the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase family. This gene is associated with detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, regulation of growth, regulation of cell growth, regulation of floral meristem size, immune complex formation, regulation of defence response to fungi, response to salt, response to other organism, heat acclimation, pollen maturation, somatic embryogenesis, and skotomorphogenesis. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, pollen tube, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species include BAK1, FON1, and D61.
