GA2OX1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G189360 (GA2OX1, also known as PsGA2OX2) encodes a protein with domains including DIOX_N and Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom, and is annotated with gibberellin 2-oxidase activity, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, and other enzyme activities. The gene is associated with gibberellin catabolism and metabolism, as well as gibberellin biosynthesis and signaling. It has been linked to fruit development, de-etiolation, responses to red and far-red light, defense against oomycetes, nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and cellular responses to hypoxia. Associations with agronomically important traits include stem elongation, plant height, seed dormancy, seed germination, root growth, hypocotyl elongation, and shade avoidance suppression. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root elongation and seed development.
