C4H — Brassica napus
Summary
BnC4H (DARMORV10_C04P59370.1) on chromosome C04 of oilseed rape encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity, iron and heme binding, and protein binding capabilities. This gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, pigment, fatty acid, ubiquinone, and hormone metabolism, as well as seed and pollen development, wound response, light response, and pigmentation. It localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plasmodesmata, cell wall, vacuole, nucleus, and plasma membrane. The gene is linked to 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 connect the family to stem strength, flower color, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, and plant height.
