EFE — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G101720 (symbol EFE, also known as ACO2) on garden pea chromosome 5LG3 encodes a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACC oxidase, EC 1.14.17.4) with ACC oxidase and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activities, vitamin C and metal binding, and a DIOX_N domain. The gene is associated with ethylene biosynthesis and signaling, fruit ripening, seed development and germination, geotropism, defense response, response to fungi, coumarin anabolism, nitrogen fixation, cell growth, and cellular response to fatty acid. It is linked to respiration rate, ethylene sensitivity, disease resistance, nitrogen deficiency response, and ethylene production. The protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, extracellular region, and stress granules. Related genes in other species are linked to seedling growth.
