CYP71E1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3002G110100, symbol CYP71E1, on sorghum chromosome 2, encodes a cytochrome P450 with 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile hydroxylase and 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase activities, and oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen. This gene is associated with dhurrin anabolism, alkaloid anabolism, glucosinolate anabolism, detoxification, NO storage, and photosynthetic electron transport chain. It is linked to response to water, fruit ripening, root development, and syngamy. The encoded protein localizes to the ER membrane. Associations with leaf dry weight and disease tolerance have been noted. Related genes in other species are linked to pest and disease resistance.
