C4H — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StC4H (PGSC0003DMG402030469) on potato chromosome 6 encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity (EC 1.14.14.91). The gene is associated with lignin metabolism, wound healing, ubiquinone anabolism, galactose metabolism, sucrose anabolism, pigmentation, hormone anabolism, primary metabolism, metabolic burst, fatty acid metabolism, developmental process, carotenoid anabolism, lignin anabolism, sucrose metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, and flavonoid anabolism. It has been linked to leaf color, shoot fresh weight, flavonoid content, anthocyanin content, chlorophyll content, UV-B protection, wound response, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid metabolism, male fertility, plant growth, lignin deposition, hyperhydricity, lignin biosynthesis, Casparian strip formation, fertility, lignin production, lateral root development, monolignol biosynthesis, Casparian strip diffusion barrier, adventitious root development, and auxin transport. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, cell wall, vacuole, Golgi, plasmodesmata, and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
