Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BnCER1-2
• Gene Name: Brassica napus clone CER1-2 aldehyde decarbonylase
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of BnKCS1-1, BnKCS1-2, and BnCER1-2 promotes cuticular wax production and increases drought tolerance in Brassica napus.
• These three genes are involved in cuticular wax production in B. napus.
• Compared to BnKCS1-1 and BnKCS1-2 overexpressing lines, the BnCER1-2 line promoted the accumulation of shorter-chain fatty acids, primary alcohols, and aldehydes.
• The BnKCS1-1, BnKCS1-2, and BnCER1-2 overexpression lines displayed lower rates of water loss than non-transformed plants.
• BnKCS1-1, BnKCS1-2, and BnCER1-2 affect cuticular wax chemical profiles in transgenic plants.
• BnKCS1-1, BnKCS1-2, and BnCER1-2 promote drought-stress tolerance in B. napus.
