ACO — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_007G135600 (PvACO) on chromosome 7 encodes a protein with ACC oxidase activity, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, vitamin C binding, and metal binding. The gene is associated with ethylene biosynthesis and production, fruit ripening, leaf development, chlorophyll metabolism, coumarin anabolism, cellular response to fatty acid, nitric oxide storage, and response to fungi and fungal molecules. It is linked to traits including respiration rate, ethylene sensitivity, drought tolerance, seed weight and size, cellulose and lignin content, disease resistance, and nitrogen deficiency response. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, stress granules, and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional traits such as germination rate, root length, stomatal opening, leaf necrosis, and seedling growth.
