LOX1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaLOX1 (T459_32989) on pepper chromosome PGAv.1.6.scaffold1034 encodes a lipoxygenase with linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activity and oxidoreductase activity acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen. The gene is associated with lipid oxidation, oxylipin anabolism, jasmonic acid anabolism, terpenoid anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, membrane breakdown, and programmed cell death. It is linked to defence response to bacteria, downregulation of defense response to insect, immune response, response to wounding, response to abscisic acid, response to jasmonic acid, lateral root formation, and root development. The protein localizes to plastid and cytoplasm. Associations with agronomic traits include pathogen resistance, systemic acquired resistance, powdery mildew resistance, resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus, aphid resistance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, salt tolerance, seed germination, seed aging tolerance, fruit aroma, stomatal closure, stomatal immunity, cadmium stress response, osmotic stress response, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, and tuber development.
