Bs3 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

The pepper gene T459_32270 (Bs3) on scaffold PGAv.1.6.scaffold675 encodes indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.168), a FAD/NAD-binding enzyme with monooxygenase activity that also binds NADP and FAD. It is associated with auxin anabolism, regulation of leaf and root development, anther dehiscence, nuclear export, secretion, systemic acquired resistance, and cell death. The gene is linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, bacterial spot resistance, and the hypersensitive response, as well as disease tolerance. Its product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Related genes in other species connect this enzyme group to auxin-dependent growth and development.
