CCR1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G028620 (symbol CCR1) on barrel medic chromosome 2 encodes a protein with cinnamoyl-CoA reductase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, oxidoreductase activity acting on CH-OH groups with NAD or NADP as acceptor, and nucleotide binding. The gene is associated with cell wall thickening, chalcone anabolism, dehiscence, jasmonic acid anabolism, xylem development, cellulose anabolism, cell wall modification, phenylpropanoid metabolism, lignin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, circadian rhythm, and defense response. It is linked to lignin content and localizes to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Related genes in other species connect the family to root morphology traits and NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase domains.
