CYP79B2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCYP79B2 (BOLC102_C03P084190.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein with monooxygenase, tryptophan N-monooxygenase, tyrosine N-hydroxylase, and multiple amino acid N-monooxygenase activities, as well as TMTT synthase and terpene synthase activities. It is associated with glucosinolate, indole glucosinolate, camalexin, cyanogenic glycoside, dhurrin, terpenoid, and auxin biosynthesis, tryptophan breakdown, lipid hydroxylation, sulfation, pollen exine formation, anther development, pupation, oviposition, and responses to herbivores, insects, and pathogens including induced systemic resistance and defense callose deposition. The gene is linked to herbivore, pathogen, insect, aphid, fungal, clubroot, and parasitic plant resistance, disease resistance to Phytophthora brassicae, systemic acquired resistance, plant growth, lateral root development and branching angle, programmed cell death resistance, zinc oxide nanoparticle tolerance, phenylpropanoid accumulation, and temperature-dependent reduction in free IAA levels. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to callose deposition, leaf senescence, indolyl glucosinolate accumulation, and auxin content.
