CYP51 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3002G342400, designated SbCYP51G3 on sorghum chromosome 2, encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein with sterol 14-demethylase and tabersonine 16-hydroxylase activities, among other monooxygenase functions. The gene is associated with sterol metabolism and biosynthesis, demethylation, and the biosynthesis of alkaloids, saponins, and glycyrrhetinate. It has been linked to pollen tube development and digestion, and its product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to leaf development, pollen formation, dwarf and erect growth habits, salt stress tolerance, and overall grain quality.
