CCR2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCCR2 (BOLC102_C02P041360.1) on cabbage chromosome 2 encodes a protein with NAD(P)-binding and epimerase/dehydratase domains that exhibits cinnamoyl-CoA reductase, flavanone 4-reductase and dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activities, acting as an NAD- or NADP-dependent oxidoreductase. The gene is associated with lignin, phenylpropanoid, anthocyanin and green leaf volatile biosynthesis, secondary and lipid metabolism, protein breakdown, response to flavonoid and cold, defense response, and circadian rhythm. It localises to the cytoplasm. BoCCR2 is associated with lignin biosynthesis, cold and drought stress responses, immunity, chloroplast and etioplast development, plastid biogenesis, leaf virescence, and coumarin accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to disease resistance, seed coat color, lignin content, plastid development, and drought tolerance.
