CAO — Brassica oleracea
Summary
BoCAO, encoded by the gene BOLC102_C06P001180.1 on chromosome 6 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea), is a Rieske-type iron-sulfur protein with pheophorbide A oxygenase activity and chlorophyll b synthesis activity, localised to the thylakoid and chloroplast membranes. This gene is associated with the chlorophyll cycle, chlorophyll metabolism and breakdown, pigmentation, flavonoid and anthocyanin metabolism, protein-chloroplast targeting, chloroplast organisation, and embryo development. It has been linked to net photosynthetic rate, leaf color, seed viability, chloroplast development, photochemical quenching, root morphology, and arsenic concentration. Associations also include light-harvesting complex accumulation, photooxidative stress tolerance, stomatal closure, and plastid protein import. Related genes in other species are linked to chlorophyll b biosynthesis, photosynthetic efficiency, antenna size, leaf senescence, drought tolerance, and embryogenesis.
