ACO1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoACO1, located on chromosome 7 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea), encodes a protein with ACC oxidase activity, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, metal binding, and vitamin C binding, placing it in the DIOX_N and IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase family. The gene is associated with ethylene anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, coumarin anabolism, pigmentation, fruit ripening, seed germination, metabolic burst, response to activity, cellular response to fatty acid, cellular response to nitric oxide, cellular response to K+ ion starvation, response to molecule of fungal origin, and signal transduction. Cytoplasmic localization is predicted. Associations with traits include ethylene sensitivity, anthocyanin content, protein content, and seed dormancy. Phenotypic links involve ethylene biosynthesis, salt stress tolerance, resistance to necrotrophic infection, and gravitropic response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to iron acquisition, lateral root development, plant growth, ethylene production, iron deficiency response, cytosolic aconitase activity, iron concentration, cytokinin content, drought tolerance, plant growth and development trait, and SALTTL.
