ncd-2 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_01268 (symbol ncd-2) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein with nitronate monooxygenase and dioxygenase activities, and also carries a DNA-binding transcription factor activity annotation. The gene is associated with jasmonic acid signaling, defense response, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, response to xenobiotic stimulus, and spore germination. It is linked to the related gene ANIA_00102. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to decreased heat sensitivity, abnormal vacuolar morphology, decreased competitive fitness, decreased chemical resistance, and haploinsufficiency, though these phenotypes are not established for V. dahliae.
