DAO — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsDAO (PSAT2G146920) encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with indole-3-acetaldehyde oxidase, gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, and binds vitamin C and metals. This garden pea gene on chromosome 2LG1 is associated with auxin breakdown and cellular auxin homeostasis, histamine breakdown, gibberellin biosynthesis, flavonoid and coumarin anabolism, and paclitaxel anabolism. It is linked to wound healing, the metabolic burst, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, endocytosis, nitric oxide storage, and responses to jasmonic acid and fungal molecules. The protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, and nucleus. PsDAO has been connected to photosynthetic rate, protein content, cotyledon size, lateral root density, root hair and adventitious root development, fertility, plant stature, and floral development. Related genes in other species link the family to auxin homeostasis, lateral root development, and root hair length.
