C4H — Asparagus officinalis
Summary
A4U43_C07F6970, symbol C4H and also known as AoC4H, encodes a trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.91), a cytochrome P450 enzyme. In asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 7, this gene is associated with lignin metabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, auxin anabolism, ubiquinone anabolism, alkaloid metabolism, and responses to wounding and light. It has been linked to lignin deposition, male fertility, plant growth, Casparian strip formation, and hyperhydricity. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, nucleus, and other compartments. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and stress adaptation, as well as traits including leaf color, root length, and flavonoid content.
