CYP51 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCYP51 (BVRB_3G070570) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr3_un.sca012 encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein with sterol 14-demethylase activity (EC 1.14.14.154). The gene is associated with ergosterol, sterol, brassinosteroid, triterpenoid and saponin anabolism, as well as demethylation, skotomorphogenesis, protein folding, and response to molecules of fungal origin. It has been linked to root yield, salt tolerance, membrane integrity, seedling viability, stomatal development, hypocotyl elongation, leaf senescence, oxidative stress tolerance, and chloroplast development. The product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, Golgi complex and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plant height, life span, seedling growth, aluminium tolerance, and embryo viability.
