C4H — Brassica napus

Summary

BnC4H (DARMORV10_A03P17070.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity. This enzyme binds iron and heme, and is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, fatty acid, ubiquinone, and pigment metabolism and anabolism, as well as hormone anabolism, seed and seed coat development, pigmentation, and wound response. The gene product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, plasmalemma, nucleus, Golgi, vacuole, plasmodesmata, and cell wall. Traits linked to this gene include flower, petal, and seed color. Studies of related genes in other species connect it to lignification, dwarfism, male sterility, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
