ACO4 — Solanum lycopersicum
Summary
SOLYC07G049550.3, designated ACO4 in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) on chromosome 7, encodes a protein with ACC oxidase activity and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. The gene is associated with ethylene metabolism, response to ether, and cellular response to fatty acid. It has been linked to fruit firmness, fruit color, carotenoid content, chlorophyll content, ethylene sensitivity, leaf abscission, dehiscence, cytoplasmic male sterility, and drought tolerance. Broader associations include hormone, flavonoid, carotenoid, cytokinin, and phospholipid metabolism, the GABA shunt, fermentation, quorum sensing, and spore germination. Related genes in other species link it to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase activity (EC 1.14.17.4).
