AOC — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G069020, also known as AOC, encodes a protein with the allene-oxide cyclase domain and allene-oxide cyclase activity. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including jasmonic acid anabolism, the upregulation of defense response to insect, and induced systemic resistance, jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathway. It is also linked to developmental vegetative growth, photoperiodism, flowering, and responses to various light conditions, such as blue, red, and absence of light. Additionally, AOC is associated with chlorophyll breakdown, isoflavonoid and isoprenoid anabolism, lipogenesis, and responses to hydrogen peroxide and metals. Studies of related genes in other species further link this family to the enzyme classification 5.3.99.6.
