C4H — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_027611 (C4H-2) on carrot chromosome 8 encodes a trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase, a cytochrome P450 enzyme that binds iron and heme. This gene is associated with lignin content in carrot and with lignin metabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, ubiquinone anabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. It is linked to wound response, UV-B protection, male fertility, plant growth, lateral and adventitious root development, auxin transport, Casparian strip formation, and hyperhydricity. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, nucleus, Golgi, vacuole, plasmodesmata, and cell wall. Related genes in other species are associated with lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
