C4H — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoC4H (BOLC102_C03P020930.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity, iron and heme binding, and belongs to the Cyt_P450_E_grp-I family. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, anthocyanin, glucosinolate, lignin, and ubiquinone biosynthesis, as well as anthocyanin and chlorophyll breakdown, pigmentation, leaf and pollen development, and response to wounding and light. It is linked to flavonoid, anthocyanin, and sugar content, drought tolerance, lignin deposition and content, male fertility, plant growth, lateral and adventitious root development, Casparian strip formation, auxin transport, and hyperhydricity. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, plasmodesma, Golgi, vacuole, nucleus, and extracellular space. Related genes in other species are linked to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, male sterility, and abiotic stress adaptation.
