C4H — Brassica napus

Summary

BnC4H (DARMORV10_C03P20160.1) on oilseed rape chromosome C03 encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, pigment, fatty acid, and ubiquinone metabolism, as well as seed and pollen development, wound response, and light stimulus response. It has been linked to seed color, lignin deposition and content, Casparian strip formation, auxin transport, lateral and adventitious root development, male fertility, plant growth, and UV-B protection. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, nucleus, cell wall, vacuole, plasmodesmata, Golgi, and extracellular regions. Related genes in other species are associated with lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, male sterility, and abiotic stress adaptation.
