FMOGS-OX5 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoFMOGS-OX5 (BOLC102_C08P058600.1) on cabbage chromosome 8 encodes a flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO-like) with 8-methylthiopropyl glucosinolate S-oxygenase, indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase, and N,N-dimethylaniline monooxygenase activities, binding NADP and FAD. This gene is associated with glucosinolate biosynthesis and metabolism, auxin biosynthesis, and regulation of hormone anabolism. It is linked to the regulation of leaf, root, and organ growth, as well as floral organ morphogenesis and anther dehiscence. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to a gapped-sepals phenotype revealing inner reproductive organs.
