C4H — Brassica napus

Summary

BnC4H (DARMORV10_A04P23210.1) on chromosome A04 of oilseed rape encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity, heme and iron binding, and belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. This gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, alkaloid, fatty acid, and ubiquinone metabolism, as well as pigment metabolism and accumulation, seed and pollen development, wound response, and post-translational modification. It has been linked to seed color, lignin content and deposition, male fertility, plant growth, lateral and adventitious root development, auxin transport, Casparian strip formation, and UV-B protection. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plasmodesmata, nucleus, plasma membrane, vacuole, cell wall, and extracellular space. Related genes in other species are associated with lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, male sterility, and abiotic stress adaptation.
