ACO — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G129500, designated PvACO and also known as ACO5, encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom, and has ACC oxidase activity, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, vitamin C binding, and metal binding. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), PvACO is associated with ethylene anabolism, fruit ripening, leaf development, chlorophyll metabolism, coumarin anabolism, and responses to fatty acids and fungal molecules. It localises to the cytoplasm. The gene has been connected to seed weight, seed size, drought tolerance, hyponastic leaf movement, and ethylene biosynthesis. Related genes in other species link the family to traits including flower and seed coat color, proline content, stomatal opening, root length, and salt tolerance.
