DDE1 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT2G06050, also known as DDE1 or OPR3, encodes a 12-oxophytodienoate reductase (EC 1.3.1.42) with FMN-binding and OPDA reductase activity, placing it in the Oye-like family of oxidoreductases. This Arabidopsis thaliana gene is associated with jasmonic acid biosynthesis and signaling, oxylipin metabolism, and the regulation of stamen development, anther dehiscence, pollen maturation, and male fertility. It has been linked to leaf and root growth, brassinosteroid and auxin responses, abscission, and floral organ development. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include responses to fungal pathogens, insect damage, nematodes, cold and freezing stress, oxidative stress, and wounding, as well as seed maturation, tocopherol biosynthesis, and nectar secretion. The gene is also connected to glutathione metabolism, vitamin E anabolism, and pigment production.
