CLA — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_02911 (CLA, DXS) on pepper chromosome 1 encodes a 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase, a transketolase-family enzyme with DXP-synthase activity. The gene is associated with the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, thiamine and pyridoxal phosphate biosynthesis, and regulation of isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis via the mevalonate-independent route. It has been linked to fruit color, seed protein content, seed size and yield, photosynthetic rate, chloroplast and plastid development, shoot system growth, and responses to high temperature and abiotic stress. Associations also include defense response, volatile organic compound synthesis, drought response, and fruit set. Related genes in other species are linked to carotenoid biosynthesis, monoterpene and sesquiterpene production, herbivore resistance, and photosynthesis.
