CAO — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Summary
BoCAO (BOLND125_C06P001100.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 6 encodes a Rieske-type iron-sulfur protein with pheophorbide A oxygenase and chlorophyll b synthesis activities, localizing to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The gene is associated with chlorophyll a and glutathione anabolism, flavonoid metabolism, chlorophyll breakdown, de-etiolation, chloroplast organization, and protein-chloroplast targeting. It has been linked to photosynthetic rate, chloroplast development, seed viability, arsenic concentration, root morphology, and embryo development traits. Associations include light-harvesting complex accumulation, photooxidative stress tolerance, stomatal closure, and plastid protein import. Related genes in other species are associated with chlorophyll b biosynthesis, chloroplast biogenesis, photosynthetic efficiency, leaf senescence, drought tolerance, and embryogenesis.
