C4H — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvC4H (BVRB_7G175810) on sugar beet chromosome 7 encodes a cytochrome P450 protein with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity and binds iron and heme. This gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, suberin, ethylene, ubiquinone, and lipid A biosynthesis, as well as wound healing, response to wounding and light, signal transduction, pollen development, and protein folding. Its product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plasmodesmata, nucleus, plasma membrane, plant-type cell wall and vacuole, and extracellular space. The gene has been connected to salt tolerance, lignin deposition, Casparian strip formation, male fertility, plant growth, adventitious and lateral root development, auxin transport, hyperhydricity, and UV-B protection. Related genes in other species are linked to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
