ACO — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G326600, designated PvACO, encodes a protein with ACC oxidase activity and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. This French bean gene on chromosome 2 is associated with ethylene anabolism, fruit ripening, leaf development, chlorophyll metabolism, coumarin anabolism, NO storage, and response to fungi and response to molecule of fungal origin. It is also associated with cellular response to fatty acid and localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, extracellular region, and stress granules. Trait associations include respiration rate, cellulose content, lignin content, seed weight, seed size, ethylene sensitivity, and drought tolerance. Phenotype connections include disease resistance, nitrogen deficiency response, and ethylene production. Related genes in other species link the family to seedling growth.
