CYP51 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

AoCYP51 (CYP51) on asparagus chromosome KV863416 encodes a sterol 14-demethylase (EC 1.14.14.154), a cytochrome P450 family member with heme binding, oxidoreductase and monooxygenase activities. It is associated with sterol metabolism and anabolism, brassinosteroid anabolism and homeostasis, saponin and terpenoid anabolism, and response to fungal molecules. The gene product localises to the ER, Golgi, extracellular space and membrane. Associations include sterol biosynthesis, stomatal development, seedling growth, hypocotyl elongation, membrane integrity, leaf senescence, oxidative stress tolerance, chloroplast development and seedling viability. Related genes in other species are linked to plant height, growth, aluminum tolerance and life span.
