Summary

CaAT2 (AT2) on pepper chromosome 6 encodes a long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase with wax ester synthase activity, placing it in the wax synthase family. The gene is associated with fermentation, secondary metabolism, lipid metabolism, and fruit development, and its product localises to thylakoid, membrane, and mitochondria. CaAT2 is associated with pungency and fruit weight. Related genes in other species are linked to insect resistance.
