Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • We cloned the two BrCRT2 alleles from tipburn-resistant (BrCRT2R) and tipburn-susceptible (BrCRT2S) lines and identified a 51-bp deletion in BrCRT2S.
  • Overexpression of BrCRT2R increased Ca2+ storage in the Arabidopsis crt2 mutant and also reduced cell death in leaf tips and margins under Ca2+-depleted conditions.
  • Our results suggest that BrCRT2 is a possible candidate gene for controlling tipburn in Chinese cabbage.
  • Attenuation of BrCRT2 function causes reduced resistance to tipburn in Chinese cabbage.
  • Overexpression of BrCRT2 leads to an increased level of Ca2+ in a transient expression system.
