CPS — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_30040 (CPS, KSA) in coyote tobacco encodes a terpene synthase with ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase, copal-8-ol diphosphate synthase, isomerase and terpene synthase activities, and binds magnesium. The gene is associated with gibberellin metabolism and signaling, diterpenoid and terpenoid anabolism, terpenoid and phospholipid breakdown, miltiradiene anabolism, morphogenesis, cell death, innate immunity, and localisation to the chloroplast. It is linked to stem elongation, plant height, dwarfism, flowering time, germination rate, protein content, trichome formation, apical hook formation, root colonization, carotenoid and chlorophyll biosynthesis, photooxidative stress resistance, and parthenocarpic fruit-set. Related genes in other species are linked to seed germination, stamen and petal length, male fertility, and GA-deficient dwarfism with male sterility.
