ACS6 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoACS6 (BOLC102_C09P037330.1) on cabbage chromosome 9 encodes a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase and also exhibits transaminase, phosphatase, and calcium ion binding activities. The gene is associated with ethylene production, anabolism, and sensitivity, as well as chlorophyll breakdown, anthocyanin anabolism, lignin anabolism, and responses to freezing, cold acclimation, mechanical stimulus, and nitrogen starvation. It has been linked to traits including seed yield, leaf size, leaf senescence, root development, stomatal resistance, stomatal closure, vegetative vigor, shoot branching, and disease responses such as resistance to necrotrophic infection, Pseudomonas syringae, and Verticillium wilt. Localization evidence connects the product to the plastid, mitochondria, plasmalemma, cytosol, and plant-type cell wall.
