CYP51 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCYP51 (BVRB_1G017310) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr1_un.sca002 encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein with sterol 14-demethylase, monooxygenase, and oxidoreductase activities. The gene is associated with sterol, ergosterol, saponin, and terpenoid metabolism, as well as demethylation, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and response to molecules of fungal origin. It has been linked to root yield, salt tolerance, membrane integrity, seedling viability and lethality, stomatal and chloroplast development, hypocotyl elongation, leaf senescence, and oxidative stress tolerance. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plant height, life span, growth, aluminum tolerance, and embryo and seedling development.
