C4H — Brassica napus

Summary

BnC4H (DARMORV10_C03P20130.1) on chromosome C03 of oilseed rape encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity, iron and heme binding, and protein binding capabilities. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, pigment, fatty acid, and ubiquinone metabolism, as well as seed and pollen development, wound response, light response, and hormone anabolism. It localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, nucleus, cell wall, vacuole, plasmodesmata, Golgi, and extracellular regions. Associations include seed color, lignin content and deposition, male fertility, plant growth, lateral and adventitious root development, Casparian strip formation, auxin transport, and UV-B protection. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
