F5H — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoF5H (BOLND125_C07P064230.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 7 encodes a cytochrome P450 family 84A protein with ferulate 5-hydroxylase activity, monooxygenase activity, and oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, and binds iron and heme. The gene is associated with lignin biosynthesis, guaiacyl lignin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, monolignol biosynthesis, syringyl lignin biosynthesis, and sinapine content. It is also linked to secondary growth, cell wall digestibility, cell-wall enzymatic saccharification efficiency, sugar release from cell walls, root morphology, lateral root development, plant growth, fruit ripening, cell death, programmed cell death, innate immunity, autophagy, macroautophagy, response to UV-B, terpenoid anabolism, sesquiterpene biosynthetic process, alkane anabolism, very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism, and protein secretion. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to male sterility, biomass yield, stem strength, drought tolerance, and disease tolerance.
