C4H — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjC4H (BJUA03G43530S) on Indian mustard chromosome A03 encodes a trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase, a cytochrome P450 family protein with heme and iron binding, and is associated with lignin metabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, and anthocyanin, flavonoid and ubiquinone anabolism. The gene is linked to leaf formation, pigmentation, pollen development, wound response, and response to light stimulus. Its product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasmalemma, nucleus, plant-type cell wall and vacuole. Associations include seed and leaf color, anthocyanin content, and phenotypes such as lignin deposition, Casparian strip formation, auxin transport, male fertility, and plant growth. Related genes in other species are linked to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
